She is currently working on several projects, one of which is to determine the elemental abundances in the ejecta of Nova Cygni 1992 using archival IUE, HST and ground-based spectra. Karen is also involved in projects to determine orbital periods for old novae systems and characterizing the physical properties of X-ray transients. Philip Yecko, Ph.D. - Columbia University Phil Yecko is an astrophysicist whose research mixes fluid mechanics, astronomy and geophysics. His recent activities focus on convection in stars, the flow of air over water such as forms waves and sea-spray, and the interaction of water and sediment.
