Welcome to my homepage! I am a physicist and educator, and I teach physics, astronomy and cosmology at Queens College at the City University of New York, where I am the Director of the Astronomy Program. I also build mathematical models to study several aspects of the universe; these include the universe's very early history, as well as possible solutions to the Fermi paradox. Please choose one of the following topics (classes are listed first):
Modern Physics
Astronomy 1 and Astronomy 2
Intro to Cosmology
The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen, but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees.

You believe in a palace of crystal that can never be destroyed—a palace at which one will not be able to put out one’s tongue or make a long nose on the sly. And perhaps that is just why I am afraid of this edifice, that it is of crystal and can never be destroyed and that one cannot put one’s tongue out at it even on the sly.
