After three of postdoctoral study at UCSD, he went to Germany in 1978 to work at the Max-Planck-Institute for Aeronomy (now MPI for Solar System Research). 在加大担任三年博士后研究员，便到德国的马普高空大气研究所(今改名为马普太阳系研究所)担任研究员(1978-1998)。
One of these missions, a satellite called Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere, or AIM, was launched in April to study so-called noctilucent clouds (depicted above), the highest layer of clouds in the atmosphere. 任务其一，今年4月该局发射了一颗名为“中层大气高空冰探测”（简称AIM）的卫星以研究所谓的夜光云（如上图所示）－这是大气层中最高处的云层。
