• Research Interests:

     -  Galaxy Clusters:  Survey, evolution, mass function, lensing,
         evolution of cluster galaxy population, luminosity function, B-O effect,
          cD galaxies, galaxy groups
    -  Field galaxies:  evolution, LF, lensed high-z galaxies, extremely red objects, submm galaxies
    -  Cosmology: galaxy cluster survey/mass function, weak lensing
    -  Extra-solar planets:  transit search
    -  Precision photometry, photometric redshift
 
 
 
 
• Projects:

          (3)  The Red-sequence Cluster Survey  (RCS2 home page) 
                          - RCS1: a 100 sq deg R-z' band imaging survey using mosaic CCD imagers at CFHT
                                       CTIO, designed to optimally detect galaxy clusters at 0.5<z<1.2 using the
                                       cluster red-sequence method. 
                                                 (Observation completed 2001; first catalog: astro-ph/0411155 (ApJS, 157,1)

                         -  RCS2: a 1000 sq deg z',r,g band imaging survey using the 1 sq deg MegaCam imager
                                        at CFHT, with the goal of deriving the mass function of galaxy clusters up to
                                         z~1 to measure the equation of state parameter w for dark engery.
                                        Expected completion of data collection: 2007.

         (4) The EXPLORE (EXtra-solar PLanet Occultation REsearch) Project
                      - a series of transiting extra-solar planet search using 4m class
                           telescopes with wide-field mosaic CCD imager and 8m class
                           telescope radial velocity search; see astro-ph/0203218 (ApJ, 582, 112)
