I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.

My research focuses on white dwarf stars, which are the dense end products of most stars after they run out of nuclear fuel. In particular, I am searching for new planets around white dwarfs that provide a glimpse into the future of our own Solar System. I also analyze the vibrations of stars that reveal the conditions of their deep interiors.
