Present Position Principle Software Engineer and Software Manager (employed by Wyle Labs) in the Science Support Center for the GLAST mission.
Brief Bio I attended graduate school at the University of Maryland and worked on my thesis at GSFC with Dr. Richard Mushotzky. After
obtaining my Ph.D. in 2001, I completed post-docs at STScI and the UMass before returning to GSFC in 2004 as a programmer for the GLAST mission.

- ASCA Cluster Project
- A project to compile and analyze all the clusters in the ASCA public archive to explore scaling laws between galaxy cluster properties and the underlying physics of clusters formation and evolution.
- Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey
- The WARPS cluster survey is an international collaboration to compile and investigate the properties of an x-ray selected sample of galaxy clusters out to high redshifts and down to low x-ray luminosities.
