I participated in the ICRC 05 in India. We presented our first cosmic ray spectrum measurement here.
(This was the first time I'm in a country where a lot of people told me they have my same name…)
I took my Nuclear and Particle Physics class to the Idaho National Lab. They have over 40 nuclear reactors, research in fusion, in fuel burning, etc. etc. It was fun! As much hands-on as a Nuclear class can be!
I directed a study abroad in Costa Rica. I took 20 Environmental Studies students there for a month. We study Renewable Energies. Do I have to tell you we had lots of fun?
The Student Choice Award is sponsored by the Associated Students of Awards the University of Utah (ASUU). Winners are selected by the students based on a 500–word description of how the instructors influence students through the University’s mission of teaching, service and research. Members of the ASUU academic affairs board judged the entries.
I received the 2007 Award after just one year teaching at the University of Utah.
I've been very lucky all my life, but sharing the "stage" with Jim Cronin (Nobel Laureate!) is a true honor. This presentation during an important meeting is one of my favorite moments.
Just to be clear. I'm on the photo, but not in the title!
But they were certainly happy to see me...
You know that you must be doing something right when your competing experiments invite you to give seminars about what you did.
Here I'm talking about the Auger atmospheric monitoring program at a Telescope Array meeting.
This picture was taken on the 60th anniversary of the Trinity test. It's important to teach our kids history. Especially the influence that physicists and our research had, have, and will always have on our lives.
As usual, nothing better than hands-on learning!
Outstanding Mentor Award awarded in Spring 2009 on behalf of the Students as Leaders in Science at Colorado State University. The Outstanding Science Awards Ceremony was created to show student appreciation toward faculty, staff, or teaching assistants who have impacted their lives. Only four mentors from the eight departments in the College of Natural Sciences were awarded in Spring 2009.
The HAWC (High Altitude Water Cherenkov) observatory builds on the experience and technology of Milagro to make a second-generation high-sensitivity detector. This unique detector will be capable of continuously surveying the TeV sky for steady and transient sources from 100 GeV to 100 TeV.
