My current research is primarily in the area of infrared-submillimeter observations of interacting/merging galaxies, their evolutionary connection with nuclear starbursts, and the formation of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Additional work is also being carried out on the molecular gas and dust properties of giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies.
Most of my collaborative work over the past ten years has been with my former graduate students, Dong-Chan Kim (NRAO, Charlottesville), Aaron Evans (Associate Professor, Department of Astronomy, Univ. of Virginia and NRAO, Charlottesville), Jason Surace (Spitzer Science Center, Caltech), James Deane (Purdue University Research Foundation), Catherine Ishida (Hilo, Hawaii), Jeyhan Kartaltepe (Hubble Fellow, NOAO, Tucson) and Vivian U, (TMT Postdoc, UC Riverside), and with Dr. Felix Mirabel (Director of Research, CEA-Saclay, France), Dr. Joseph Mazzarella (Head of NASA Extragalactic Database, IPAC/Caltech), Prof. Sylvain Veilleux (University of Maryland), and Professor Joshua Barnes at IfA-Manoa.
