Present Position:

 

2013-  present:    Distinguished Research Professor, Physics, NJIT

 

 

Research Interests and Experience:

 

Conceived, raised funds ($25 M) for, and led project to build BBSO’s 1.6 m clear aperture, off-axis solar telescope (world’s largest aperture) that had its first light in 2009.  Telescope is in regular operation with the highest order AO system at any solar telescope correcting light that feeds state-of-the-art Fabry-Perot visible and near-IR light spectro-polarimeters.   Used telescope in a series of high resolution observations elucidating unforeseen, significant solar dynamics.  Leading projects to commission multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system and cryogenic spectrograph in BBSO.

 

Among 24 current and past students and postdocs, 12 have moved on to faculty/national center tenure track/tenured positions.  Senior among them are Thomas Rimmele (DKIST Director) and Enric Pallé (Director of Research at Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias), as well as leaders of solar groups around the world including Peter Gallagher (Trinity College Dublin), Jongchul Chae (Seoul National University), Haisheng Ji (Purple Mountain Observatory, Nanjing), Carsten Denker (Astrophysical Institute Potsdam)  & Wenda Cao (Director, Big Bear Solar Observatory).

 

Long experience in broad aspects of studies of the Sun’s interior, surface, and atmosphere.  Climate studies.  Over 200 publications.  Co-PI DKIST Project
