Welcome to my home page. It is always under construction, so check back again some time.

Current Info

In December 2000 I recieved my PhD from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I currently have an NRC post-doc possition and am working with the X-Ray Astronomy group at MSFC.
During graduate school, I worked on a variety of instruments including the Burst and Transient Source Experiment, (BATSE), and the Fiber Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope, both of which were based at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The spaces science group at MSFC is now located at the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC). My dissertation research included the development and application of the general relativistic astrophysical flow and shock solver (GRAFSS). GRAFSS is capable of solving three dimensional general relativistic hydrodynamic flows.
