I am a radio astronomer working on star formation and the interstellar medium in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. I am the Maryland director for the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland array of millimeter-wave telescopes. I also have a Fabry-Perot spectrometer for studies of extended optical emission line objects which I use at Palomar and at Las Campanas. My optical interests include galactic nebulae, gas flows in galaxies, detection of ionized gas above and beyond the HI disks of galaxies, and measurement of the metagalactic ionizing flux.

I received my Ph.D. in Astronomy from U.C. Berkeley in 1983. I was a postdoc at Berkeley and at Caltech before becoming an assistant professor at RPI in 1987. I joined the Maryland faculty in 1989.
