Education

I have a BA in mathematics from Carleton College and a MS and a PhD in physics from the University of California-San Diego . My dissertation research was in X-ray astronomy. I also completed teacher training to be a secondary school mathematics teacher.

Work Experience

Following a post-doctoral fellowship with the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, and two years of research at the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA, I joined MIT/Lincoln Laboratory in 1985. I am currently a group leader and do applied research.

I was elected to the Wayland School Committee in 1996 and am also serving on the Middle School Building Committee (2000-2003).
