My areas of interest are Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Physics and Physics Education. I am the local coordinator of the Texas Electronic Coalition for Physics, which seeks to integrate different electronic media to teach upper level physics courses to a geographically distributed classroom. I supervise the university's High Performance Computational Development Center, funded by NSF, to facilitate scientific computations on a Beowulf cluster.

Courses I Teach:

PHYS1401 - General Physics I PHYS1402 - General Physics II
PHYS2425 - University Physics I  PHYS2426 - University Physics II
PHYS3311 - Classical Mechanics PHYS3490 - Selected Topics: Quantum Theory 
PHYS3490 - Selected Topics: Medical Physics PHYS4320 - Physical Science Laboratory Techniques
PHIL3340 - Foundations of Professional Ethics MATH1314 - College Algebra
