Current Activites

My current research and teaching activities are described on other pages. During the last few months, I have begun writing a nonmathematical book on extragalactic astronomy for use in my course AST 309R "Galaxies, Quasars, Cosmology".

Over the last several years, I have devoted some attention to the problem of light pollution in Austin.

Hobby-wise, I play violin and enjoy nature walks and bicycling.
