I love to share my excitement and interest in physics with my students. I teach a wide array of courses from general education courses in galactic and stellar astronomy, to introductory calculus-based physics for scientists and engineers, to advanced undergraduate courses in physics.
All of these classes give me an opportunity to share in the wonders of our natural world and more importantly to learn to think in a logical and ordered manner.
