The VLS Research Initiative
The VLS research initiative was carried out over 5 year span and is still an ongoing research project. The initial conception of this project was inspired by the need to address the many conflicting and unresolved issues surrounding a wide breadth of astronomical data and to propose an alternative hypothesis that provides a simpler, more robust and solid framework for understanding the observed trends in the data.
The principle investigator of this work has an established record of research and teaching in physics and astronomy at the university level. His dissertation work involved modeling the escape of heavy atoms from the Martian thermosphere, developing 3-D Monte Carlo codes for computing the dynamics and trajectories of energetic particles as well as chemical models to describe the interactions with background gas constituents. He also worked as a researcher modeling the tectonic evolution of the terrestrial planets (Earth, Mars, and Venus), focusing on the effects of varying yield stress on mantle convection. He has participated in multiple projects over the years including but not limited to the investigation of stellar birth regions in active galaxy centers in various infrared frequency bands, investigations into the effects of solar flares on atmospheric dynamics, and the origin and evolution of planetary atmospheres and oceans. He has presented research results at numerous national and international scientific conventions and published several papers in peer reviewed journals. He also served as a member on a NASA MDAP grant review panel.
There are many possible applications of this theory especially with respect to the new data sets anticipated from the recent deployment of the James Webb Space Telescope. Collaboration on these topics is encouraged. If you are interested in establishing possible correspondance and collaboration, please fill out the fields below. Experimenters and theoreticians are especially invited to submit proposal ideas.
