Welcome to my homepage. I have been Professor of Astronomy at UT since 1974. My main research interests are Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and H II regions. My work is largely theoretical, but I am involved in observing programs with the telescopes at McDonald Observatory and the Keck Observatory and studies using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In recent years I have concentrated on quasars and their black holes, binary quasars, and chemical abundances in galaxies.

In Spring 2013 I am teaching AST 307 "Introductory Astronomy." This is a survey of astronomy for science and engineering majors
