Research

I am currently working on the X-ray line emission from cataclysmic variables, the X-ray-emitting diffuse gas in spiral galaxies, and completing a paper on the X-ray-emitting supernova SN1978K, still going strong after 15 years.

Teaching

I have been teaching the introductory astronomy course for non-science majors for the past 3 semesters. I have also taught an advanced introductory astrophysics class, and a class in extragalactic astrophysics.
