Brief Bio


My science interests include X-ray astronomy, theoretical astrophysics, atomic physics and plasma modeling.   I received my PhD from University of Colorado Boulder, working with Prof. Dick McCray; I did a postdoc at MIT working with Prof. Claude Canizares.  I now work at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center in the X-ray Astrophysics Lab.
