    Research Interests of VLA/VLBA Scientific Staff

    This page briefly lists the research interests of scientific staff affiliated with the VLA and VLBA. Potential users of these instruments are invited to contact those with related interests for assistance and advice regarding issues such as proposal writing, scientific interests/goals, data analysis, and/or possible collaboration. Clicking on a person's name generally will bring up their home page, which includes considerably more detail. For those who would like assistance, but can't find a "local" expert in the list below, please contact Gustaaf vanMoorsel at gvanmoor@nrao.edu, and an appropriate contact person will be designated.
