My research program is centred on a laboratory for experimental astrophysics. The primary goal of this well-found laboratory is the development of sensitive far-infrared and submillimetre spectrometers and radiometers for use in a range of ground and space-based astronomical projects. Building on a long-standing research program in Fourier transform spectroscopy at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and the development of an Infrared Radiometer for Millimetre Astronomy (IRMA), my group leads Canada in two major imaging spectroscopy projects: Herschel/SPIRE and SCUBA-2/FTS-2. Building on this success I am leading Canadian participation on the imaging spectrometer being developed for the Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA), an exciting new space mission under development by the Japanese and European Space agencies.

我的研究计划以实验天体物理学实验室为中心。这一设施完善的实验室的主要目标是研制灵敏的远红外和亚毫米光谱仪和辐射计，用于一系列地面和空间天文项目。在詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦望远镜傅里叶变换光谱学长期研究计划和毫米天文红外辐射计（IRMA）开发的基础上，我的团队领导了加拿大的两个主要成像光谱项目：Herschel/SPIRE和SCUBA-2/FTS-2。在这一成功的基础上，我正在领导加拿大参与为宇宙学和天体物理学空间红外望远镜开发的成像光谱仪，这是日本和欧洲航天局正在开发的一项令人兴奋的新空间使命。
