Prospective Students
I am always happy to talk with new students about research projects, particularly related to my Current Research Interests. If you are an Ohio State graduate student, please email me. If you are a prospective graduate student, please apply to our Astronomy Ph.D. Program. And if you are an undergraduate at Ohio State, please apply to our Summer Undergraduate Research Program.
