Research
I have a strong interest in solar system astronomy and minor bodies. Before
coming to NMSU, I held a position at Yerkes Observatory leading project ARDA
(Asteroid Recovery, Discovery, and Astrometry), performing follow-up
observations of newly discovered near-Earth asteroids and comets.
I have begun to work with Dr. Tom Harrison and Dr. Bernie McNamara, and plan
to expand on my work studying near-Earth asteroids with small telescopes.
Meetings
I was a co-author on a poster presentation on ``Diffuse Interstellar Bands,
molecular and atomic line measurements with APO and FUSE'' at the May 2003 AAS
meeting.
