Where do I work?

I work in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the Johns Hopkins University. I am the Instrument Scientist for the recently decommissioned Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), which was launched into orbit on a Delta 2 ELV on June 24, 1999 and shut down on October 18, 2007. I am also working on the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS), an instrument for the Hubble Space Telescope which will be installed during the next Hubble servicing mission.

My wife works across the street at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
