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.
