Background
Originally from New York, I received a BS in Physics from the Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston in 1994 and a PhD in Astrophysics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California. I then worked as a senior research scientist for the company of Schlumberger-Doll Research in Connecticut before joining the Jet Propulsion Lab of Caltech as a postdoctoral scholar. I joined the faculty of UTB/TSC's Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Fall of 2004.
