Annual 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

2023 Physics Capstone SymposiumSenior Physics capstone presentations will take place Monday, May 15th starting at 2pm in Morken 210. 2:00pm Gann Wilcox – “Conservation of Electrical and Thermal Energy – a High School Lab Manual” Typically, conservation of energy lab exercises only relate mechanical energy (kinetic and potential). These forms of energy are visually intuitive, but these limitations deprive students of the big picture of energy conservation. As a future high school physics

Careers for Physics MajorsA degree in physics can lead to employment in design and development work in private industry or in large, government laboratories. With their broad education in fundamental physical concepts, physicists often work closely with engineers who have more specific design-oriented training. Those who complete a Ph.D. degree in physics may be involved in the basic research of unanswered questions in science, or may contribute to the development of new, advanced technologies

math, physics and computer science, but also the life sciences and humanities, connections encouraged by the interdisciplinary arm of the contest. The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications also hosts the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)—the “pure math” side of the competition. This year the simultaneous contests drew 20,000 teams and played out at thousands of locations across twenty-one countries. At PLU, the ultramarathon-style drama unfolds in the Morken Center for Learning and
