Welcome to my REU 2001 page!

Summer 2001 I did an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) at Iowa State Universtiy . REU is a program funded by the National Science Foundation.

My Project!

My advisor was Mike Reed, a recent Ph.D. graduate in astronomy at ISU. So that means I was also working indirectly under Steve Kawaler.

I had an observing project, doing high speed CCD photometry on KPD1930 mainly, but we also took data on PG1716+426. These are both sdb variable stars.

I worked late at Fick Observatory using the 24'' telescope. Here I am hooking in the CCD:



Are we having fun yet?
