Here is a link to my CV providing more detail about my career and a list of publications.

Research Interests
My general interests are the investigation of physical and geophysical processes and properties through analysis of remotely sensed data.  In particular, I am interested in the specialties of hyperspectral and multispectral image analysis.  Currently, we are applying hyperspectral imaging techniques to the problem of hard target detection as well as gaseous plume detection and quantification.  I am also involved in our efforts in active, LIDAR imaging techniques. In addition, I currently head up the Algorithm and Phenomenology group within the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory.
