Research

My research advisor is Dr. Tim Slater, of the CAPER team.  

This summer I am beginning work towards my thesis, on developing a new style of clicker questions for astronomy classes.

About Me

Originally a native of New York City, I have spent time in rural western New York state, assorted parts of Pennsylvania, Tucson AZ, and most recently hail from Boston MA.  

I am currently a graduate student in the UWyo Physics & Astronomy department as well as being on leave of absence from a tenured position as Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester, MA.  

In my free time during the school year (hah!) I play casual video games and I play with my pet bird.  In my free time during the summer I obsessively play RPGs and strategy games, and read sci-fi/fantasy until the wee hours of the morning.
