Present Positions:
1997- Director, Big Bear Solar Observatory, NJIT
Director, Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research, NJIT
1994- Distinguished Professor, Physics, NJIT
Research Interests and Experience:
Sun’s interior and atmosphere; magnetic fields; helioseismology; climate studies. Over 200 refereed publications.
Among 24 current and past students and postdocs, 12 have moved on to faculty/national center tenure track positions.
Leading the project to build BBSO’s 1.6 m clear aperture, off-axis solar telescope (world’s largest aperture) that had its first light early in 2009. Its light will feed our high order adaptive optics system, which in turn will feed our next generation, Fabry-Perot based, visible light and near infrared polarimeters. BBSO also has a fully operational Beowulf cluster doing real-time image reconstruction.
Long experience in helioseismology and studies of magnetic fields, especially in combining BBSO ground-based data with satellite data to determine dynamic properties of the solar magnetic fields, place a lower limit on solar irradiance and to probe the solar interior.
More than a decade of fundamental climate change research experience measuring the Earth’s large-scale reflectance using the earthshine, and modeling the Earth’s reflectivity using satellite cloud cover data, and finding appreciable decadal variation of reflectance due to cloud changes. Building a global network to measure the Earth’s global reflectance. Earth’s reflectance is the least well-measured of the three fundamental climate parameters.
