Research Interests
I work primarily on observational galaxy evolution, primarily the star formation
histories of field galaxies. This includes the spectrophotometric study
of starburst galaxies, post-starburst objects, and colliding, merging, and interacting
galaxies. I've also dabbled in quasar-hunting, strictly avocationally.
Two large projects I'm part of are
an international multi-wavelength observing collaboration called
MUSYC
and a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury Program called
COSMOS.

Here is a recent
web article
that describes a portion of the AMNH Physical Sciences Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) program that I help supervise.

Hayden Planetarium
The Hayden Sphere, in the Rose
Center, weighs 4,000,000 pounds.

It was a privilege for me to be one of the scientists who helped put this place together - it seems so long ago now.
This place is, however, far more than just the world's leading planetarium.
Behind its glass walls is a world-class staff of scientists and researchers,
interpreting the science of the universe and bringing it to the public.
