"My research at Emory consisted of studying a number of eclipsing binary star systems, culminating in a senior thesis, which may be found here. In addition to deriving basic system parameters through light curve modeling, I analyzed RS CVn spot cycles, apsidal motion, and Near Contact to W Uma type binary evolution. I have also worked on modeling low-mass eclipsing binary studies to obtain more information on the mass-radius relation for the lower main-sequence. Additionally, I am interested in high-precision photometry and extrasolar planet detection, and will be perusing these studies at New Mexico State University. Click here to see my web page at NMSU."
