Why I Teach

Physics is the fundamental science on which all other sciences and engineering are built. I love engaging students and preparing them for their education in science and engineering as well as applying physics to their everyday lives and hobbies.

Additional Information

One of my additional research interests include archeological geophysics. I worked with the Finnish Institute in Athens to perform ground penetrating radar surveys of potential excavation sites near Sparta and the Greek border with Albania.
