Research Interests: Dr. Gonzalez is primarily interested in studying
the late stages of stellar evolution through the use of spectroscopic
observations. Recent work includes spectroscopic abundance analysis of
post-AGB supergiants and RV Tau variables. He has also undertaken a
study of the parent stars of the recently discovered extra-solar
planetary systems. The results indicate that these stars have anomalous
chemical abundances, suggesting some sort of unusual formation history.
