I am a physicist and an engineer specializing in quantum mechanics and in the application of Machine Learning techniques in sensing and measurement. I enjoy helping students develop practical and modeling skills, so that learning physics becomes a creative endeavor. As a member of the Partnership for the Integration of Computation in Undergraduate Physics, I advocate for the use of computation as a means of teaching and of learning across the physics curriculum.
Before coming to JSU, I taught Physics and coordinated the Pre-Engineering program at Bethany College in Lindsborg, KS. I worked also for five years as a computational physicist at IBM Research in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and for nearly six years as a flight test engineer at Kohlman Systems Research in Lawrence, KS.
