I earned my PhD from the University of Wisconsin. Between 1986 and 2019 I was on the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Cincinnati. I joined SSI in 2005. My recent work deals with planet-building disks around the young stars, using spectroscopy at wavelengths from 0.8-5 microns. These data provide information on size distribution of the dust in these disks, as well as the gas dynamics in the inner regions (star-disk). I currently live in Amelia, OH.
