About
I work for SAO as an observational astronomer. My interests include globular clusters and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, chemical abundances of stars, planetary nebulae, the stellar content and kinematics of stellar streams in the Milky Way and other galaxies. I am the principle contact for the Hectospec multifiber instrument on the MMT.
