Alex Dalgarno was affiliated with Harvard University in the United States during their career in academic research. Their work primarily focused on the fields of physics and astronomy, with a particular emphasis on astronomy and astrophysics.
The main topics covered in Dalgarno's research included astrophysics and star formation studies, gamma-ray bursts and supernovae, and stellar, planetary, and galactic studies.
Dalgarno frequently collaborated with other researchers, including S. Lepp and P. C. Stancil.
Throughout their career, Dalgarno was recognized with several notable awards. These included the Benjamin Franklin Medal from the Franklin Institute in 2013 and the Hughes Medal from the Royal Society of London in 2002, the latter awarded for contributions to the theory of atomic and molecular processes with applications to astrophysics. Their work helped advance understanding of emissions from terrestrial aurorae, planetary atmospheres, and comets.
Dalgarno was also named a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2001. Earlier distinctions included receiving the Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics from the American Physical Society in 1980, and they were a fellow of both the American Physical Society and the American Geophysical Union, inducted in 1980 and 1974 respectively.
