Research
My research is primarily in star formation, magnetic activity in low mass
stars, brown dwarfs, and the galactic interstellar medium. I have been
involved with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey since 1999 and I am an active
participant in the Stars working group, where I am the P.I. in the SDSS
T-Tauri program. My dissertation topic is "Magnetospheric Accretion in
Substellar Objects".

Postdoctoral Work
I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis on Magnetospheric Accretion in
Substellar Objects, on April 8, 2005. I continue to work at the Los
Alamos National Laboratory, and am a member of the Institute
for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology there.
