Curriculum Vita
I spent my research sabbatical 2007-2008 in
In 2004, I spent the spring semester visiting the
Coordinación de Astrofísica
at Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) in
Research
My research is centered on longer-wavelength
observations of objects within the solar system: large main-belt asteroids and
comets. I've also dabbled in planetary atmospheres and molecular cloud
chemistry.
