Hello, and welcome to my NEW home page (still under construction so some of the links may not work). I am a Senior Research Associate in the Dept of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Univ of Chicago. Before this I was a Research Scientist at the Bartol Research Institute at the Univ of Delaware . And prior to that I was at the Research Center for Theoretical Astrophysics (RCfTA) , in the School of Physics at the Univ of Sydney, working with Dr. Lewis Ball.
I had organized a workshop at the RCfTA on Supernova Remnants, Pulsars and the ISM . The proceedings of the workshop are available here.
I have started a group to enable easy discussions of all matters concerning supernova remnants. If any of you are interested in any aspect of supernova remnants, please feel free to join by entering your email in the space below.
My research work covers supernovae, supernova
remnants, planetary and other wind-blown nebulae, and computational
astrophysics. I've also worked on galactic dynamics. To view any of my
publications, or see some of my simulations, click here.

Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens (for a conference in 2003) written bu my
