Research
       Population studies of X-ray binaries
       Globular cluster black hole searches
This is a bit out of date. In recent years I have been doing a lot of work on these topics, as well as accretion physics in X-ray binaries. I have also been doing a lot of work on science case development for future X-ray and radio/mm telescopes. Interdisciplinary studies students and engineering students:
If you have been offered admission to the interdisciplinary studies program or a program in some other department on campus like engineering, but not to the Department of Physics and Astronomy, I am not in a position to offer you an assistantship. It is possible that I will work with engineering or computer science students on a collaborative project with their advisors, but in no case will cold calling me lead to funding.

Occasionally, teaching assistants from other departments are hired in our department, but this is all done via the teaching laboratory directors, and not by faculty, so please do not contact faculty with requests for teaching assistant positions.
