He now teaches at Stanford University in the Departments of Physics and Applied Physics, where he served as chair for a period of time. Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly known as Stanford University or simply Stanford, is a private Research university located in His research is focused on phenomena that occur at extremely low temperatures.
Osheroff was selected to serve on the Space Shuttle Columbia investigation panel, serving much the same role as Richard Feynman did on the Space Shuttle Challenger panel. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB was convened by NASA to investigate the destruction of the Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' upon atmospheric The Rogers Commission Report was created by a Presidential Commission charged to investigate the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on its 10th mission STS-51-L
He currently serves on the board of advisors of Scientists and Engineers for America, an organization focused on promoting sound science in American government. Scientists and Engineers for America (SEA is an organization focused on promoting sound science in American government and supporting candidates who understand science and its applications
Osheroff is left-handed, and he often blames his slight quirks and eccentricities on it. He is also an avid photographer and introduces students at Stanford to medium-format film photography in a freshman seminar titled "The Technical Aspects of Photography. " In addition, he has taught the Stanford introductory physics course on electricity and magnetism on multiple occasions, most recently in Spring 2008. In Physics, magnetism is one of the Phenomena by which Materials exert attractive or repulsive Forces on other Materials.
