Look here for the official Cornell astro faculty web page.

Here is a (fairly) current CV.

In Feb 2005, we began the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey ALFALFA, using the new multi-beam ALFA array on the 305-meter Arecibo telescope to search for galaxies over 7000 square degrees of sky.

For a more detailed summary of current research projects and who we are, take a look at the home page of the Cornell ExtraGalactic Group (EGG).

I got to know ALFA when it first arrived in Arecibo in April 2004.

I seem to serve on a lot of committees:

I am a member of the Board of Trustees of Associated Universities, Inc which operates the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
Until 2008, I was a member of the Advisory Committee for the Division of Engineering and Physical Sciences of the National Academies.
Starting in 2008, I am serving another term on the Board on Physics and Astronomy (on which I previously served in 1991-3).
Recently, I have chaired the 2005 Radio and Submillimeter Astronomy Planning Group.
Currently I am Vice Chair of the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey Committee.
I am also a Vice President of the International Astronomical Union.
I recently chaired the Provost Search Committee and now I am a member of the Strategic Plan Advisory Council at Cornell University.

And, I am a faculty fellow at the extremely awesome Carl Becker House.

I am involved in Cornell's Knight Writing Institute and teach Astronomy 2201 under the Writing in the Majors Program and Astronomy 2233, once upon a time a Knight Sophomore Seminar. Additionally, three of my terrific graduate students -- Dave Kornreich (now at Humboldt State U, with tenure even!), Sabrina Stierwalt, and Ann Martin -- have taught Astronomy 1109, a freshman writing seminar, under my supervision (although I learned a lot from watching them!).
I have also recently taught Astronomy 6590, and will be leading Astronomy 7620 in Spring 2010.
