About
Edwin’s research focuses on the development and application of optical instrumentation for the study of terrestrial aeronomy, solar system astronomy, and the physics of the interstellar medium. Most recently Edwin’s work involves high–spectral resolution observations and comparative radiative transport modeling of atomic hydrogen line emission in the Earth’s thermosphere/exosphere, and observations and interpretation of the velocity structure of the lunar sodium exosphere. Edwin is also working to construct the perfect Chicago style hot dog using the resources available in Florida.
