 Lee Mundy, Director
Lee Mundy studies the dense ISM, star formation
and the initial stages of planet formation
utilizing observations at centimeter through
near infrared wavelengths and radiative transfer
modeling tools. The observations are mainly acquired
with the VLA and BIMA/CARMA millimeter array, and
though a SIRTF legacy project which is mapping
five major molecular clouds and over 100 compact
cores. Dr. Mundy is also collaborating with NASA Goddard in
studies of a number of mission concepts for submillimeter
through near infrared wavelength space interferometers.
 Alberto Bolatto
I pursue several lines of extragalactic research
in the nearby and high-redshift universe, including studies of molecular gas and
star formation in galaxies, galaxy kinematics and dark matter, molecular cloud
structure, radio searches for atomic and molecular transitions at high redshift,
and S3MC/S4MC, a Spitzer Space
Telescope Cycle-1/Cycle-3 project for imaging and spectroscopy of the
Small Magellanic Cloud in the mid- and far-infrared.

 Eve Ostriker
My main scientific interests are in the processes of star and planet
formation, dynamics of the interstellar medium, structure and evolution of
spiral galaxies, and physics of accretion/outflow systems. My research focus is
theoretical, with technical work involving both computational and analytic
solution of hydro- and MHD flow problems to model astrophysical systems, and
development of detailed observational diagnostics from these models.
Baker(Rutgers). I study the potential for morphological evolution of
nearby field elliptical and S0 galaxies.

 Marc Pound
Since 1997, I have been member of the Laboratory for Millimeter-wave
Astronomy. My primary research interests are the kinematics of Galactic molecular
clouds and the formation of brown dwarfs. I am also the Computing Coordinator
for the CARMA project as well as a CARMA software developer.
