I have been at SSU since 1984 as a part-time lecturer in Physics. Below you will find a list of courses taught over the years, the active links designate the current semester. For most labs I create a manual available by course name and instructor in the SSU Bookstore. On line you can download individual experiments listed in the outline and background material.
Background:
In 1983 I received my B.S. in Physics at Sonoma State University, and since 1984 I have taught as a part-time lecturer at Sonoma State University. Before teaching I gained experience in various summer programs including Hewlett-Packard in Santa Rosa where I profiled a vacuum deposition chamber used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices and measured the temperature response of an alloy furnace. Working with a project scientist at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, I measured the magnetic quadrupole field of 16 symmetrically placed samarium-cobalt magnets, a prototype of one to be used in a focusing device.
I encourage all students to take advantage of Summer Internships as a way of not just earning money but exploring possible careers. Doors can open up for you when you gain relevant experience.
