Research Interests:
I am an optical astronomer interested in low mass star and planet formation. I study the light variations of extremely young stars that are analogous to the Sun at the time the Solar System was forming. I use telescopes on campus and around the world (and above it!) to carry on this research. One object of particular interest that we discovered here at Wesleyan is KH 15D, also known as the "winking star". It is a unique astronomical object that promises to tell us much about protoplanetary disks.

Academic Associations:

Grants:
I have had continuous support for my research from the National Science Foundation and/or NASA since 1982. I am currently supported through NASA's Origins of Solar Systems program.
