Sample materials (Calculus-based Intro Physics I)
Sample materials (Calculus-based Intro Physics I)
The sample material is for an introductory calculus-based physics course that would typically be taken by either students interested in majoring in physics their first year, or by older students in other STEM fields. The course focuses on the topics of mechanics and conservation laws. The last third of the course is devoted to the topic of Special Relativity, expanding the ideas of the earlier topics and working to understand how we have to adapt our models for understanding the universe when we move away from our everyday experience (in this case moving to high speeds). Topics include: Particles and models, conservation laws, energy and work, collisions, Newton’s laws and forces, kinematics, relativity and four-momentum.

Research mentoring
As a graduate student, I helped mentor seven undergraduate students and served as the primary point of contact and mentor for three. Two of my students have presented their research at the APS DNP Fall meeting, and one won a First Place award for his poster presented at MSU's University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum in 2021.
Selected Service
Selected Service
At MSU, I spent four years as a member of the Graduate Program Committee in the Physics and Astronomy department. During my tenure we undertook a massive change to the structure of the graduate program. We wanted the structure of the program, including how we approached mentoring and assessments like the comprehensive exams, to better reflect the with the shared goals of the department. As a part of this work, I helped develop and administer a department wide survey on the graduate program and using those results, worked to develop the plan that would ultimately be adopted by the faculty in Spring 2022.
