Personal profile
Research Interests
Elemental photoionization in support of ongoing astrophysical and observational astronomy research endeavors.
My research group has two primary projects:
- Photoionization of ions via synchrotron radiation.
- Scanning Photoionization Microscopy using ultrashort pulses from a ti:saph laser focused to a diffraction-limited spot and directed in-vacuo to a 2D translatable sample stage.
Teaching Experience
At UM, I've taught many of the classes in our physics curriculum at least once: Einstein's Relativity/Honors (PHSX 141N), Electronics (PHSX 322), Modern Physics (PHSX 343), algebra-based College Physics I (PHSX 205N), calculus-based University Physics I & II (PHSX 215N & 217N), Quantum Mechanics (PHSX 461), our technical writing course Communicating Physics (PHSX 330), Intermediate & Advanced Physics Laboratories (PHSX 323 & 444), Optics (PHSX 327), and even Kinetics and Phase Transformations (MTSC 512) to students at UM, Montana Tech, and MSU in the state-wide doctoral program in Materials Science.
Universities exist to educate the next generation; we should all take teaching as seriously as we do our research.
