I am a Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Physics at Agnes Scott College.
This past year, I taught Modern Physics, algebra-based Introductory Physics, a First Year Seminar on Climate Change, and an Advanced Laboratory course. While the main documentation for these courses is on a password protected website for Agnes Scott students , there is some information about these and other courses taught at Agnes Scott on the Physics Webpage. I have also included sample syllabi for recently taught courses under the Teaching tab of these webpages.
In October 2010, we put on an interactive Laserfest outreach event at Agnes Scott college. Information on the interactive exhibits, including some student-made videos describing the exhibits, can be found at our Agnes Scott College Laserfest webpage.
My research interests include a variety of applications in optics. I am currently working on an Optical Diffraction Tomography system for imaging volume phase objects with micron-scale resolution and a high signal to noise ratio.
When not teaching physics or playing with lasers, I can be found rock climbing, knitting, and traveling.
