more details
My main interests are the dark matter and the vacuum energy (aka dark energy) that are thought to make up more than 95% of the mass of the Universe. I am also interested in gravitational lensing, especially microlensing as it is used to search for normally invisible objects such as dark matter, black holes, dim stars, and extra-solar planets. I also work on other aspects of the early universe such as the production of supersymmetric dark matter, as well as other issues in theoretical and observational astrophysics and particle-astrophysics.
More information can be found on the MACHO Project home page. I was also a member of the now defunct Center for Particle Astrophysics, which has information on the dark matter problem, or look at an old article I wrote on dark matter.
The transparencies for a talk I gave on Baryonic Dark Matter and MACHOs at Neutrino 2000 in Sudbury are available.Information on the UCSD Physics faculty, and on UCSD Astrophysics research, can be accessed through the Physics Department home page.
