Areas of expertise: 

My research centres on observational studies of neutron stars. I use radio and X-ray telescopes to study pulsars - rapidly rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars. Specific projects my research group is currently working on include:

NuSTAR - a focusing hard X-ray NASA mission due to launch February 2012
SWIFT and Arecibo L-Band Feed Array, a CyberSKA project, and using the Green Bank Telescope, in support of NANOGrav
X-ray observations of high-magnetic field neutron stars using CHANDRA and XMM-Newton
Population synthesis of radio pulsars
