I have been at Denison since 1996, following teaching experience at Saint Mary’s College of California and a research postdoc at SRI International. I enjoy teaching a broad range of courses including introductory physics, introductory astronomy, modern physics, electromagnetic theory, and electronics lab. In addition, I have developed and taught several courses specifically for non-science majors, including "Energy and the Environment" (Physics 100) and "Coming of Age in the Milky Way: Aristotle to Galileo to Einstein" (Honors 135 and FYS 102). I am an active member of AAPT, the Council on Undergraduate Research, and Project Kaleidoscope -- F21.
