Research

I have active projects in a number of areas, but especially optical spectroscopy and scientific instrument design and development. I also assist various people with problems in optics, electronics, mathematics, and programming (particularly for data analysis).

A more minor part of what I do is in science education, specifically in developing novel tools and methodologies to help students appreciate subjects in new and interesting ways, though I do this more for my own (and hopefully my students') satisfaction than anything else.

Details of my publications are available on Google Scholar.
