Alex is the Atherton and Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Pennsylvania State University, and original discoverer of exoplanets around the pulsar PSR B1257+12 in 1992.  He was my dissertation supervisor.  Together we have made a number of discoveries using Arecibo Observatory, including the first radio emitting T dwarf, 2MASS J10475385+2124234, and potentially the fastest rotating ultracool dwarf, WISEPC J112254.73+255021.5.  We currently collaborate on several projects related to ultracool dwarf astrophysics.

Leslie is a professor and observational astrophysicist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who specializes in star and planet formation at radio wavelengths.  We have an ongoing research project to search for the non-thermal radio emission from T Tauri systems.

Maxim is a theoretical professor of astrophysics at Purdue University.  We pool our observational and theoretical expertise to probe questions related to stellar magnetism and non-thermal emission, including the study of sources of electron cyclotron maser emission among exoplanets, stars, and stellar remnants.
