Past Life & Published Papers

I have advanced degrees in physics (M.Sc.) and astronomy (Ph.D.), and in a previous life, I was a research astronomer spanning almost two decades in places like Toronto (Canada), Heidelberg (Germany), Minneapolis (USA), and La Serena (Chile). I’ve written short pieces about my time in Chile:

• How it’s like as an astronomer in Chile
• How I said goodbye to Chile and astronomy

Below is a list of astronomy research papers I published as first- or lead-author in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
