I'm a post-doc at the the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, a division of JPL and Caltech. I am working to support the WIRE (Wide-Field Infrared Explorer) mission. With the demise of WIRE, I will be starting in May as the IRAC Instrument Liaison Scientist. IRAC is the short wavelength camera on SIRTF.

I specialize in optical and (particularly) near-IR imaging, with an emphasis on high spatial resolution techniques. I have considerable experience with the use of deconvolution algorithms (while at IPAC I helped with development of the HIRES process) and adaptive optics techniques.

I used to work at the Big Bear Solar Observatory. I also spent several years with the Infrared Army at Caltech and at IPAC. I was a graduate student at the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomy.

My thesis was a study of the evolutionary connection between ultraluminous infrared galaxies and optically selected quasars. Specifically, I carried out a high spatial resolution imaging campaign with HST and using ground-based a daptive optics techniques to examine several complete sample of ULIGs and quasars. These observations at UBIHK demonstrated clear merger morphologies, young star-forming clusters, and QSO-like compact nuclei in the ULIGs. Similar features were also found in many quasars. To quote James T. Kirk.
