Experience in Laboratory Teaching

Teaching the following introductory physics courses to undergraduates in the Department of Physics:

1) Phys 2213- Electromagnetism (Fall 2016)

Topics include electrostatics, behavior of matter in electric fields, DC circuits, magnetic fields, Faraday's law, AC circuits, and electromagnetic waves.

2) Phys 2214- Oscillations, Waves, and Quantum Physics (Spring 2017)

Covers physics of oscillations and wave phenomena, including driven oscillations and resonance, mechanical waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, reflection and transmission of waves, standing waves, beats, Doppler effect, polarization, interference, diffraction, transport of momentum and energy, wave properties of particles, and introduction to quantum physics. With applications to phenomena and measurement technologies in engineering, the physical sciences, and biological sciences.

3) Phys 1112- Mechanics & Heat (Spring 2017)

Covers the mechanics of particles with focus on kinematics, dynamics, conservation laws, central force fields, periodic motion. Mechanics of many-particle systems: center of mass, rotational mechanics of a rigid body, and static equilibrium. Temperature, heat, the laws of thermodynamics.
