I am involved in a number of projects to observe the early stages of massive star formation.
My work is generally multi-wavelength, including optical, near-infrared, millimeter, and radio
spectroscopy and imaging.
I played an integral role in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey
, which was released to the public via IPAC in June 2009 (I wrote the
data reduction pipeline and reduced the data).
My first accepted paper was a NIR/mm study of the high-mass star forming
region IRAS 05358+3543. We
identified additional outflows and suggested that there may be a ~10
MO binary in the system.
I am engaged in ongoing studies of the W5 and L111 massive star forming
complexes in the outer galaxy and pilot programs to directly measure the
densities of inner galaxy massive clumps. I am using the CSO, JCMT, GBT,
and eVLA for these studies.
I have also become interested in software development for public use. My
personal software page lists some of my
projects. I have a google code page on which I've released some useful
codes, the most important being readcol.
I now participate in APLpy development, working on ds9 region inclusion.
