Research
At Bowling Green State University:
- Long-period variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 6171
- Photometric light curves of suspected variable stars being found using ISIS Image Subtraction Software and DAOphot
- Attempt to find a period for the known irregular variable star and detecting unknown long-period variable stars and their periods
- Reclassify the previously known long-period variable star from an irregular variable star to a semi-regular variable star
At Ohio Northern University:
- Stellar and gas kinematics of pseudobulge galaxy NGC 1291
- First to research gas kinematics for this galaxy
- Based on gas kinematics, major axis may be at the position angle of 76°, as opposed to 345° that previous stellar kinematics have found
