Physics Faculty

I use x-ray techniques to study materials, their composition, and their behavior. I combine experimental tools with computational modeling and data analysis methods to describe material characteristics.

I'm a biophysicist, working on understanding the basics of living systems using physics.  I spend most of my time on microscope development and on studying the skeleton of biological cells, both with a host of talented undergraduate researchers.  I teach classes across the physics curriculum, fro

"I believe physics is for everyone, and everyone can do physics."

I am an experimental plasma physicist.  My research interests focus on magnetic confinement of pure electron plasma, and on the creation of electron-positron plasma.  I design, construct, and conduct experiments with students in my laboratory at Lawrence University, and with my international coll
