Associate Dean for Undergraduate Students and Teaching Professor of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Penn State
I am a Teaching Professor in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and now the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Students in the Eberly College of Science at the Penn State University Park campus in State College, PA. I have a wide variety of interests in teaching, research and outreach. I created and teach Astronomy 401: Fundamentals of Planetary Science and Astronomy, which is one of the required capstone courses in the Planetary Science and Astronomy major at Penn State, which is a relatively new major approved at Penn State during the 2013-2014 academic year.
