Research

I study the interstellar medium, the stuff between the stars. We developed a new spectroscopic instrument called the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM for short) that sits atop Kitt Peak in Arizona. This facility was designed to study the ionized component of the interstellar material and has now mapped the entire northern sky. The telescope is completely remote operable and can be run from anywhere using the internet. Read more about it here.

Here is a fairly up-to-date cv in pdf format.
