A physicist working on experimental tests of gravity. His joint work with James G. Williams and Dale Boggs uses lunar laser ranging to compare the ratios of gravitational mass to inertial mass for Earth and the Moon. The comparison probes the equivalence principle using bodies with different compositions and gravitational binding energies.[ref]
