Very active in space astrophysics: Principal or Co-Investigator of numerous programs using IUE, Einstein, ROSAT, EUVE, CGRO, FUSE, HST, and Spitzer spaceborne observatories. Worked closely with Instrumental Development Teams for Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) flown on HST, which provided Guaranteed Time Observations and funding for CUA.
Served on organizing committee for several international scientific meetings. Numerous scientific review panels for IUE, EUVE, ROSAT, and HST observing programs. Numerous service awards from NASA. Elected to Users Committees of IUE and EUV space observatories. Elected as Permanent member of IUE Users Committee in 1994.
