RESEARCH

My current research is concentrated on nearby galaxies, especially Local Group members and on the question of how they have evolved over their lifetimes. Most of this research is carried out with the Hubble Space Telescope, which my collaborators and I have used to obtain images of galaxies and star clusters. My students, collaborators and I are studying the star formation histories of the Andromeda Galaxy, NGC 6822, M33, the Magellanic Clouds and other dwarf galaxies using color-magnitude diagrams of field stars and characteristics of stellar clusters. References to our papers can be found on the web by consulting the ADS, the NASA Astrophysical Data System.
