Lee J. Rickard, Ph.D.
You have probably heard of the Very Large Array (VLA), and perhaps visited there. Nearby is the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), another radio astronomy facility that you may not have known existed. Through the addition of a new station at Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge, and the possibilities for further growth in coordination with the growth of the VLA, the Long Wavelength radio arrays are producing an amazing amount of exciting new science. Come and explore the world of radio astronomy with Dr. Rickard.
Dr. Lee Rickard trained as an astronomer and has worked on molecular gas in galaxies, infrared studies of starburst galaxies, space-based and ground-based optical interferometry and imaging spectrometry, and synthetic aperture lidar. He was program manager for the first station of UNMs Long Wavelength Array project. He is now retired, and becoming a philosopher of science. He is a consultant for the Museums Space Science wing and planetarium. He has a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Chicago.
