Oh, hello. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm Dan A. Nusdeo, research astronomer at Georgia State University as part of the RECONS team. My current
research is a robust study of the multiplicity rate of K dwarfs in the solar neighborhood, primarily utilizing the infamous speckle cameras, DSSI, NESSI, Alopeke, and Zorro,
to resolve companions at sub-arcsecond separations. This, in combination with a comprehensive literature survey and current/upcoming Gaia data releases, should provide
us with a precise view of the multiplicity fraction for our small orange friends.
Aside from working with RECONS to establish a comprehensive database of our local stellar neighborhood, I am also interested in globular clusters and the information they
provide us regarding the history of our galaxy. I'm a Connecticut native and a lover of the northeastern outdoors, which I miss dearly. I also miss good pizza, a rarity here in the south. In my free time I'm a musician, a gamer, and a hockey player. Feel free to leave a comment below.
Go Bruins and Pats!
