About Me

Over 30 years research and teaching experience in experimental high-energy physics and observational astrophysics, including projects at CERN (Switzerland), Fermi and Brookhaven National Laboratories (USA), TRIUMF (Canada) and KEK (Japan). Currently I am focusing on teaching core physics principles to undergraduate students in both lower division and upper division classes as well as helping them develop experimental research and leadership skills through undergraduate research projects. Our most recent research project involves transit photometry measurements using data from NASA's TESS mission. I am currently the co-PI of KSU's NASA scholars program which is supported by the Georgia Space Grant Consortium.
