Research

My research involves several aspects of observing solar activity at various wavelengths. The primary types of solar activity of interest are those that have direct effects on the Earth and its space environment. These include solar flares and their associated interplanetary particle events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). His prior studies have shown a very high association of an x-ray signature known as progressive spectral hardening and high energy proton events that can be harmful to astronauts and spacecraft. In the areas of educational research and outreach, I have developed various algorithms for projecting student learning growth rates with the “No Child Left Behind” act in mind and has been striving to upgrade the observing facilities at the University of Colorado Alpine Observatory at CU’s Mountain Research Station.
