Since arriving at GU, I have taught courses across the physics curriculum to students from many majors on campus. Exposing so many students to topics such as the conservation laws of nature and the beautiful symmetry of Gauss’ law early in their college careers makes teaching introductory courses incredibly rewarding. As my students quickly learn, I emphasize critical thinking skills and problem solving techniques over rote memorization. Only by building upon basic and fundamental physical understanding can students learn to solve novel problems. Students may also enroll in my Computational Physics or Nuclear Physics courses in which they will learn to numerically solve complex problems and that the atomic nucleus still holds an incredible number of secrets of the universe.
