Research

My research interests are primarily in the study of galaxy evolution, an attempt to discover why galaxies look the way they do and what that tells us about the nature of the universe that they grew in. GALEX SSGSS LVL

I have also spent some time working on methods to identify large numbers of supernovae and the development of liquid mirror telescopes. LZT

Humans are, among other things, excellent pattern recognition machines.
