I am a Research Scientist in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland. My expertise is in millimeter, submillimeter, and far-infrared interferometry, in the dynamics of gas in star-forming molecular clouds, and in scientific software design and development. I enjoy developing user-friendly software to help astronomers maximize the return from their science, such as understanding observations of photodissociation regions (PDRs) around hot, young stars, or reducing and analyzing spectral line data from singledish telescopes. My scientific interests are in understanding feedback mechanisms in star formation, and how gas structures form and evolve near H II regions.
