Research and Academic Interests:

In May 2007, I moved to Albuquerque to begin work on my doctorate degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico. Most of my research interests are remote sensing related. I also have done projects in laser scattering, battery fabrication and testing, climatology, cold-season hydrology, and image processing of Atlantic hurricanes.

In my free time, or in past lives, I enjoy (or have enjoyed) bowling, skiing, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, biking, karate, ice skating, and old-school (original Nintendo) video games.

Unlike most people from my high school who really never left central New Jersey, I've done quite a bit of traveling, almost all of it in the United States. Having lived in New Jersey, western New York, South Dakota, the Maryland side of Washington, DC, and two different locations in Texas prior to moving here, I've gotten used to different climates, environments, people and hobbies. Some I'd like to forget, some I miss greatly. I'm sure I'll be doing more traveling over the next few years here in New Mexico.
