Main research interests

Building CCD cameras and software for detection of near-Earth asteroids, distant solar system objects, supernovae, and quasars -- all in an effort to better understand the origin and evolution of the solar system on the one hand,  and the mysterious dark energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe on the other.
