Postdoctoral Research

From 1997-1998, I was a National Research Council postdoc with Dr. Yvonne Pendleton in the Space Sciences Division at NASA Ames Research Center in California.

PhD Research I received my PhD in Physics in December 1996 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, where I studied in the Astrophysics group. My PhD advisor was Dr. D.C.B. Whittet.

My thesis project consisted of a ground based program of spectroscopy of interstellar ice features in regions of star formation. A copy of my thesis can be obtained by emailing me chiar@misty.arc.nasa.gov or writing to me at the postal address below.
