Research Interests:
My primary research focuses on multi-wavelength observations of white dwarfs, neutron stars, stellar-mass black holes, and super-massive black holes (Active Galactic Nucleii). My other research interests include globular clusters, the intergalactic medium, and data mining. I also have strong interests in Education & Public Outreach.
