Teaching Experience This has a complete list and description of courses taught, 1992-2000 (before LSMSA and LaTech).

Research Interests This describes some of my work when I was a researcher and postdoc.My vita and publications list. Work done for the experimental group at Wesleyan University is shown here, electric field calculations .
Personal History More about me and my interests other than physics.

Interesting Sites on the Web
Astrophotography These are b&w images taken with a Schmidt camera and the Celestron-14 at the William and Mary observatory.
Photography Images taken when I was in Pittsburgh for school.
Java applets These were prototypes of an applet-based chaos demonstrator.
