I am no longer a grad student in Physics at Drexel University! I completed my doctorate in June 2010, and am now a postdoc at Yale University. My area of study is Astrophysics, particularly active galaxies and black holes. The picture above is of me filling the liquid nitrogen dewer of the Goldcam spectrometer on the 2.1m telescope at Kitt Peak during my first PI observing run.

As with most things I do, there's a lot of color around here, but not much substance. I have an archive of my old site, previously hosted on Gridley (a student-run unix server), at Carleton. Ahh, the good old days before I learned about CSS.

While you're here, please visit the observatory website: I'm the maintainer and general head monkey! I will be adding to it, as we take more images, and do more outreachy (is that a word? It is now!) things. Also, watch the public observing page for information about our open houses! Rain and clouds tend to cluster around those days, so if there is an observatory open house coming up, you should probably carry around a raincoat.

About myself

Alina and I have a dog. His name is Jupiter, and he is big, fuzzy and cute.

And while I'm sharing links, here's the page of a cute mathematician.
