I grew up in Michigan and went to Caltech for graduate school, then the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago for my two postdocs. I joined UMd as an assistant professor in 1999 and was promoted to associate professor in 2004 and to professor in 2009. I am a theoretical high-energy astrophysicist who works on, for example, neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational radiation. I also have general interest in Bayesian statistics as applied to astronomy.
