Courses

I am currently scheduled to teach the Astronomy and Astrophysics First Year Seminar (ASTRO 020S). Students can find course materials on Angel.

I have also taught:

ASTRO 010: The Astronomical Universe (Fall 2010), an introductory survey course in astronomy for non-majors.
ASTRO 530: Stellar Atmospheres (Spring 2010, and Spring 2012), a graduate course. The focus is the radiative processes of optically thick media, with the Solar atmosphere as the example. There is also significant emphasis on programming, numerical methods, and document preparation.
ASTRO 589: Seminar in Current Astronomical Research (The Science of Exoplanets) (Fall 2009)
