545 _aDr James R Webb is currently a full professor of physics and Director of the Stocker Astroscience Center at Florida International University (FIU). He received his bachelor's degree in physics at Ball State University, and his masters and PhD in astronomy at the University of Florida. His research area is the study of blazar variability on all timescales and, although primarily an optical astronomer, he has worked in the UV, X-ray and gamma-ray spectral domains as well.
