Research Interests:

My main area of research is the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of planets. I analyze data and develop theoretical models to discover how solar flux, a neutral atmosphere, magnetic fields, and an ionosphere interact under the unique conditions of each planet. I am also actively involved in suppporting the operations of accelerometer and radio science instruments. I have a range of potential projects available in these areas for interested undergraduate and graduate students.

I defended my PhD dissertation in March 2003. The dissertation is available online, as are a full CV and a 3 page CV.
