Teaching Interests:

• APS 3740 Cosmology/Relativity (taught spring 1997/1998)
• APS 5740 Interstellar Astrophysics (spring 2000)
• APS 5110 Internal Processes 1 (fall 2002)

Research Interests:

• Theoretical and observational studies of the interstellar medium, especially the molecular component
• Theoretical calculations of the physics and chemistry of dense clouds irradiated by x-rays
• Warping and precession of accretion disks
• Models of water masers from active galactic nuclei
• Effects of nonthermal radio continuum on the excitation of molecules near powerful radio sources
• Observations and models of the CII 158um fine-structure line emission from the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and other low-metallicity galaxies
• Modeling of the sharp edges observed in galactic neutral hydrogen disks and the use of these models to constrain the extragalactic ionizing photon flux

Miscellaneous non-astronomical stuff:

Book of the month:

Patricia Anthony's latest novel, Flanders has been compared to "All Quiet on the Western Front" - and that's not an exaggeration. One of the most powerful novels ever written about war and humanity.
