• 大卫·普利 was born and raised in New Orleans and spent a decade in Boston, a few years in San Francisco, nearly a year in Madison.  Of all the places he’s lived, central Texas is his favorite. 

    Pooley’s research focuses on extreme and energetic astrophysical phenomena, studied primarily with the most energetic forms of light – X-rays and gamma rays – and supplemented by observations with radio, 红外, optical light.  He enjoys working with undergraduate research students on the reduction and analysis of data from NASA’s premiere satellites, 包括 哈勃望远镜 Space Telescope, 钱德拉 X-ray Observatory, 费米 Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Swift Gamma-ray Burst Mission.  Pooley also goes on several observing runs each year at McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis, he is in the process of refurbishing, 自动化, roboticizing the 16” telescope atop Marrs McLean.
