I am a Scientist at the Department of Astronomy at the University of Michigan. My research covers a variety of areas in Astronomy from our Milky Way to the Local Group to supermassive black holes in elliptical galaxies and the bulges of spiral galaxies as well as the clusters of galaxies. My work in all these areas is connected by the common theoretical framework of Galactic Dynamics.
