Research

My current research examines numerical simulations of clusters of galaxies for comparison with observational tests of the the growth of large-scale structure and cosmological tests such as the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. My observational background includes studies at both radio and X-ray wavelengths.  I also direct a NASA-funded center to study astrophysics from the Moon called the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR).

See APS Faculty Research Interests for additional research interest information. Scroll down to my individual listing.
