Projects that I am involved in:
Binary Star Research: particularly Near Contact Binaries
and searching large scale sky surveys for binary systems, which has lead to three groups of rare eclipsing systems:Eclipsing Binaries with subdwarf B (sdB) stars
GS Binaries (eclipsing sytems with both components a subgiant or giant star)

I have also been seen at K-12 schools around the state trying to convince the next generation to become scientists. |

If you like to cut to the chase, see the FAQ (which is really
advice more than answers to questions.)
