Kulkarni has already made major contributions in research on the                interstellar medium and in the search for pulsars.  He will                     continue work on these topics but concentrate on optical                        interferometry, using radio techniques for phase closure.                                                                                                       This award under the Presidential Young Investigator Program is                 made to an astrophysicist who already has a worldwide reputation                for his work on the interstellar medium, search for pulsars, and                design of astronomical instrumentation.  He was co-discoverer of                the first pulsar with a rotation period of only a few                           milliseconds, a phenomenon that provided new understanding                      concerning the aging of stars.  Kulkarni is an expert on                        interferometry, the method of using several telescopes to provide               a joint sharp image of an astronomical object.  He expects to                   extend a particularly effective technique of radio interferometry               to the optical and infrared wavelength.  As a first objective, he               will obtain the sharpest possible images from the Mount Palomar                 five-meter telescope despite the continual blurring of the                      Earth's atmosphere.
