Research: My primary area of expertise is data analysis and interpretation of solar flare emissions, particularly at X-ray and radio wavelengths. I have also published a number of research papers on other topics: multi-frequency solar radio emissions with the Allen Telescope Array, sungrazer comets, search for extra-galactic radio transients, diagnostics from Thomson-polarized light above the solar limb, and Precise Formation Flying.

Flown (or selected for flight) hardware/missions:

  • Principal Investigator of the NASA GRIPS (Gamma-Ray Imager/Polarimeter for Solar flares) high altitude balloon payload
  • PI of the SHARP (Solar HARd x-ray Polarimeter) instrument on the PADRE (solar PolArization and Directivity X-Ray Experiment) 12U cubesat mission
  • Member of the RHESSI (Ramaty High Energy Spectroscopic Imager) science and operations team
  • Mission design for the CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE)
  • Polyphase Filter Bank optimization for the Parker Solar Probe RFS instrument
  • Design and development of circularly-polarized patch antennas for the CINEMA cubesat (in times before their widespread commercialization)
