  • Professor of Physics | Wild Hope Center for Vocation | hay@plu.edu | 253-535-7999 | I enjoy explaining physics concepts on a level that is understandable.

    Affiliate Meeting) Teaching Fellowship, Oregon State University 2002-2008 Sigma Pi Sigma (physics honor society), inducted 2002 Biography I enjoy explaining physics concepts on a level that is understandable. Depending on a student’s mathematical and scientific background, the language you choose to communicate physics to them is crucial. Physics often has a reputation of being mystical and impossible, but it’s not when it’s broken into its most simple concepts. It’s all around us: driving a car, making

    Why Study Physics?Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine

  • PLU offered the opportunity for me to simultaneously pursue my passion for engineering and my love for music, and I just could not turn down an opportunity like that.

    Profiles - PhysicsKelvin Adams:“PLU offered the opportunity for me to simultaneously pursue my passion for engineering and my love for music, and I just could not turn down an opportunity like that.”Joseph Olson:“My professors here at PLU were amazing and instantly acted as mentors, shaping my beliefs and values. Outside of physics, I embraced the liberal arts side of my education, gleaning the most of my non-major classes to better prepare me for my role in the larger world. PLU provided the

  • We offer two Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees, in Physics and Applied Physics; we also offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and a minor in Physics.

    Degrees in PhysicsWe offer two Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees, in Physics and Applied Physics; we also offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and a minor in Physics. The physics major offers a challenging program emphasizing a low student-faculty ratio and the opportunity to engage in independent research projects. There are two introductory course sequences, College Physics and General Physics; the General Physics sequence incorporates calculus and is required for all majors and the minor
