Expertise
Observational/experimental research into physical processes in the interstellar medium, especially those related to star formation. The technologies used for these studies include radio- and millimeter- wave length telescopes, mostly interferometers. In conjunction with these studies, I assist with HIA's involvement in the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) project, now under construction in Chile.
