cv / bio

This page has a heavily condensed version of my CV. You can find my cv here (PDF; no pubs/talks), a list of my publications, talks, and popular media references here (PDF), and a full-length version with everything in it here (PDF). You can also go to my Google Scholar Page, which is likely to be more up-to-date with regards to publications. Finally, you can go to my ORCID page, which has a variety of employment, grant, and publication information.

A short bio can be found here.

Publications and Presentations

For a full list of publications, please consult my Google Scholar Page or this library of papers on the NASA Astrophysical Data System. Google Scholar is automatically updated so it is likely to be more up-to-date but may incorrectly include some papers; the NASA ADS library is curated by me, so will be more accurate but also more out-of-date.
