OBJECTIVE:

My objective is to establish myself in an academic environment. It is my intention not only to continue my present research program but also to expand that program to include students. I believe that teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels is an important component of fostering their interest in the sciences and communicating the excitement of research.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

I possess a strong background in observational X-ray astronomy. This includes a long program of research on the X-ray properties of clusters and groups of galaxies along with elliptical galaxies. My teaching experience includes observational astronomy labs, teaching assistant for introductory mid-level astronomy courses. In addition to classes I supervised undergraduates that were in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program during my postdoctoral work.
