About Me
I am currently a staff scientist at the SIRTF Science Center working on the
IRAC instrument support team. Before that, I was at Boston College and
worked for the Air Force Research Laboratory generating mid-infrared images
from the SPIRIT III radiometer aboard the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX).
MSX Picture Gallery
The Midcourse Space eXperiment (MSX) was a Ballistic Missle Defense
Organization satellite which contained a 35 cm infrared telescope with 4
mid-infrared arrays at 8.3, 12.1, 14.7 and 21.3 microns. MSX surveyed the
entire Galactic plane from -5 to +5 degrees in latitude, the regions not
observed by IRAS, selected start forming regions and galaxies, and a selection
of comets and asteroids. The PI for these experiments was Dr. Stephan
Price. Most of the data reduction was carried out by a handful of
individuals working with/for the Air Force Research Laboratory. Among them
are Don Mizuno and Tom Kuchar at Boston College and Mike Egan and Russ
Shipman both formerly of AFRL.
Here is a link to gallery of pretty MSX
pictures.
Research Interests
Infrared and UV studies of the diffuse ISM, dust composition and properties,
millimeter, submillimeter and infrared investigations of molecular clouds,
formation and destruction of molecular clouds, Galactic structure, star
formation, and development of astronomical software
