been getting way too much spam by leaving my full e-mail address on my

My present work includes being co-investigator on the
Solar EUV Experiment (SEE) on the
Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics
(TIMED) satellite mission (launched
Dec. 2002), co-investigator and project scientist on the EUV
Variability Experiment (EVE)
on the upcoming Solar Dynamics Observatory
(SDO) satellite mission
(to be launched in 2008), and principal investigator on the
GOES-R EUVS and XRS Irradiance
Sensors (EXIS) (GOES-R to be launched ~2012).
I am also involved with the LASP
Solar Sounding Rocket program and am doing research into the effects
of medium energy electron precipitation on the upper mesosphere and lower
thermosphere. I'm not just your average nerd, I'm a rocket scientist!
For more information on my work and research interests see my woefully outdated
resume (a PDF file) and my
science-related links. For my other interests, see some of the links

Disclaimer: I first created these pages in 1994/5, way back when
there were so few web sites that even the most general searches only
produced a few hits and none of them contained porn! The pages just started
as a bunch of useful links for my research. They've grown and expanded,
since then, but updates only happen when I've got free time, which is
pretty rare. So don't blame me if something is out of date! Just drop
me some e-mail to let me know!

Some Images to Make You Think
The Earth
and the Moon from the Galileo probe as it passed by Earth on its
way to Jupiter. Seeing home from a new perspective always makes one
re-evaluate the sense of self.
The Hubble Space
Telescope Deep Field. Just about every object in this picture is a
galaxy, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. Absolutely astonishing!
Can anyone look at this and still think the universe is centered on us?
Or that we are alone?
Size is relative.
Sometimes Frank just feels like a giant in a land of dwarves.
