I've moved (again)! Visitors are encouraged to see my new homepage (click here) at the
Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy / University of Colorado.


NEW: What I am working on right now: my CPU desktop view!

Greetings, welcome to my homepage. I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics and the University of Toronto's Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. My present research interests concern observational studies of photodissociation regions and the diffuse interstellar medium. I am also a collaborator with the Johns Hopkins University Sounding Rocket Group which designs and builds rocket-borne instruments to study a wide variety of astronomical objects including starburst galaxies, hot stars and nebulae, planets, and comets. Additionally, I study the properties of dust and molecular hydrogen in the diffuse interstellar medium and emission/reflection/planetary/circumstellar nebulae as a guest investigator with FUSE and Spitzer.

My office is in the McLennan building, Rm 1310, (416) 978-6857, france "at" cita.utoronto.ca.
