Grzegorz M. Madejski
Lecturer, Physics
BioMy English-speaking friends know me as Greg. I was born in Poland, but my college and graduate education was in the US, respectively at MIT and Harvard. After spending 14 years at NASA/Goddard, I arrived in Stanford in 2000. My research interests are mainly in extragalactic high-energy astrophysics. This includes (1) studies of active galactic nuclei, and an associated formation and evolution of relativistic jets; and (2) studies of clusters of galaxies, and in particular the processes responsible for the heating of the X-ray emitting intra-cluster gas. Besides taking advantage of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory, I am involved in analyzing and interpreting observations performed with X-ray satellites such as NuSTAR, a recently-launched NASA satellite, sensitive in the hard X-ray band, and Hitomi, a joint Japanese - US X-ray astronomy mission.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur underlying forms of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation and long-term depression, and in particular the function and plasticity of Parvalbumin-containing interneurons in neocortex. In the past few years, we have used a combinatorial approach to comparing physiological and anatomical plasticity-induced changes in synapses using electrode recording and Array Tomography in the same neurons.
