Past Life & Published Papers

This all seems like an age ago, done by someone else in another life.

After achieving advanced degrees in physics (M.Sc.) and astronomy (Ph.D.), I was research astronomer for 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

I even found online the presentation slides to a talk I gave at a astronomy conference in Sydney (2009).

I don’t have many images of my attendance at scientific conferences. In 2007, I attended a Gemini Science Meeting in Brazil. I’m in the following group portrait, but I don’t know who took the picture.

In 2008, I attended a joint Subaru-Gemini Observatory workshop (about a planned telescope-instrument called WFMOS) at the Marriott Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii. Below is a group portrait of the workshop attendees; I’m sporting dark sunnies and a dark t-shirt. Once again, I don’t know who took the photo.

What follows are my research papers published in astronomical journals and volumes. The first item in the list below is my doctoral dissertation which is listed in the Government of Canada’s Library and Archives’ Theses Canada Portal. The remaining items are research papers I published as first- or lead-author in peer-reviewed scientific journals. As I’m no longer concerned with the (accumulation of) “currency of citations”, I’ve listed these papers here as a matter of record.
