About
I am a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I started September, 2008. My area of research is the dynamical and chemical evolution of early-type galaxies in the galaxy cluster environment. I use not only computer simulations to study these galaxies (see <http: />), but also have observed at national observatories like Kitt Peak National Observatory (Arizona area) and Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (La Serena, Chile) to gather observational data.
