Research

     I am currently working as a research faculty at the Department of Space Studies, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. My research focus is planetary sciences particularly small bodies (asteroids and comets). I have always been interested in asteroids as accessible fragments left over from the formation of the Solar System. I have used a variety of techniques to learn more about them and what they can tell us about planetary formation, including near-IR spectroscopy, high-precision astrometry and photometry. Links below will take to specific pages related to my research work.
