Methods papers, survey science, and the work my students and postdocs have led.

72 of 136 papers sit in one of these curated ADS libraries; the rest are co-authored work, counted in the total and shown as “Other” in the roles figure below.

Why these figures? I find it easier to see what I work on and how it has landed as a picture than as a list. Research mix weights each paper by its classification across the four areas, and the role breakdowns separate work I led from work led by my postdocs, my students, and larger collaborations. RIQ (Research Impact Quotient) is roughly √(total citations) ÷ years active, so it compares across career stages instead of just growing with time — the shaded band is the 60–150 typical range for established astronomers (Pepe & Kurtz 2012).
