    Physicist

    Educational Leader

    Science Advocate. As department chair of biology

    chemistry and physics

    I seek to empower faculty to create transformational and engaging experiences for all students. This includes fostering of new pedagogies in the classroom

    undergraduate research experiences

    and service participation. As chair

    I wish to solve problems for faculty and students alike

    together overcoming barriers large and small.

    Graduate Research Assistant

    Physicist and Physics Educator. Currently

    I teach all levels of physics courses geared towards engineering majors and physics minors. I also lead a group of undergraduate research projects. At the moment

    my physics research involves new models of neutron stars as well as alternative gravitational models to standard relativity. I also highly enjoy breaking new ground in the game-ification of education.
