Student Engagement
I have a passion for sharing my experience with students by assisting them in engaging research. My mentoring style seeks to foster skill building so that the students I engage with can apply their knowledge to many different areas. Below is a list of students who I have mentored as a postdoc, where several of these students have published our work in a major research journal in Astronomy or Astrobiology.

Visiting Assistant Professor
After my first postdoc at NASA, I spent a full academic year teaching and learning from students a the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK). As a Visiting Professor, I created a curriculum for introductory courses in Physics & Astronomy. Moreover I developed and built new lab experiences, where the video on the right shows one lab I established. In this lab, the students learned about streams, floods, and erosion, where they measured the flow rate using a stream table.
Below is a list of courses that I taught at UNK:
