Research Professor, MMT Observatory | Member of the Graduate Faculty
I am an Assistant Staff Scientist at the MMT Observatory and Associate Astronomer at Steward Observatory. At MMT, I work on supporting and developing instrumentation, observing, and telescope capabilities, and supporting data handling and reduction, with an emphasis on our spectroscopic instruments. Previously at Steward, I have worked on the MIPS team, on optical and infrared observed programs from the ground and with the Hubble and Herschel satellites, and on creating a network and modern observing system for Arizona's medium-size telescopes. MIPS was the far-infrared instrument on the Spitzer satellite. Prior to moving to Arizona, I was at Maryland working on the Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter MMTF) with Prof. Sylvain Veilleux.
