 I
am a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the
University of Iowa. My research interests are in mainly in radio
astronomy, especially using very long baseline interferometry
(including the VLBA) to study active galaxies, active stars, and
interstellar turbulence. Recently I have used Iowa' s WBD receivers on
four Cluster spacecraft in VLBI mode to study the Earth's
AKR, a naturally occurring radio emission associated with aurora. A
detailed description of these programs can
be found by clicking on the Research button above. I have also have an interest in the design and operation of robotic telescopes, especially for use in undergraduate astronomy laboratories.
