Philip R. Goode is an American theoretical physicist also working in observational astronomy and its instrumentation. He is a Distinguished Research Professor of Physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) with an H-index > 60. His career divides into five overlapping periods as follows:
- His earliest work in theoretical nuclear physics, 1967-1982
- Pioneering research in theoretical helioseismology (1981-2005)
- He created, developed and directed (1995-2014) NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR), which made NJIT one of the most important universities in the U.S. for observational solar physics, heliophysics, and solar-terrestrial physics
- The construction of (2003-2009), and scientific results from (2009-present), the world’s most powerful solar telescope (2009–2019) in Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). In 2017, this ground-based telescope was renamed the Goode Solar Telescope (GST). Goode was director of BBSO from 1997, when the observatory was transferred from Caltech to NJIT, until 2013
- Sustained earthshine studies of Earth’s reflectance (1998–present)
