Mentoring

I have mentored students from middle schoolers through undergraduates in studying a wide array of physical phenomena. I have also helped faculty at two year colleges adjust to the unique environments for teaching and scholarship.

Biography

As director of the Jack C Davis Observatory I engage in a variety of astrometric and photometric measurements. Recently I have focused on double star astrometry. I also have experience in developing Arduino based sensor suites for high altitude ballooning through the NV Space Grant CoP group at WNC.
