University of New Hampshire Durham, NH Graduate Research Assistant 1980-1987 Participated in the development and operation of a soft gamma-ray (160 keV to 10 MeV), balloon-borne, coded aperture telescope. The work included participation in all aspects of design, fabrication and operation of the experiment (including three separate balloon-flight campaigns). Had primary responsibility for the data analysis, including all software development. This worked formed the basis of a Ph.D. dissertation. University of New Hampshire Durham, NH Graduate Teaching Assistant 1981 Served two semesters as an instructor in the laboratory for the introductory (general education) astronomy course. This involved both indoor laboratory exercises as well as outdoor sessions using a variety of telescopes. Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, OH Research Assistant 1977-1980 Participated in the analysis of data from a balloon-borne MWPC detector for high energy (>50 MeV) photons and the fabrication of a balloon-borne solar neutron detector.

REFEREED PUBLICATIONS

The following is an unabridged listing of refereed publications for which I have served as one of the authors. There are a total of 112 publications contained in this listing. For 17 of these publications, I served as lead author. It should be noted that my participation in the CGRO/COMPTEL project led to my being a co-author on a large number of publications. Authorship within the COMPTEL collaboration was intended to portray not only the direct participation in a particular study, but also the contributions made to the success of the COMPTEL project in general. My lengthy COMPTEL publication list is indicative of the fact that I played a significant role in the COMPTEL collaboration and that I contributed to the general success of the project. In general, I would estimate that for roughly half of the publications for which I served as co-author, I made a significant contribution to the effort. For the other half of the co-authored publications, I served a supporting role. [INVITED REVIEW] GAMMA RAY POLARIZATION OF GRBS
