This semester (Fall 2007), I'm teaching Physics 253: Quantum Mechanics for the 6th straight year. As always, we are using Quantum Mechanics, Volume One by C. Cohen-Tannoudji, et al.

For Spring 2008, I'll probably be teaching Physics 256: Particle Physics and Cosmology, which I developed and first offered as a regular course in 2006.

I've taught a variety of courses in past semesters at Georgetown, including:
  • Physics 042: Principles of Physics II (Spring 2002)
  • Physics 108: Vibrations, Fluids, and Waves [tutorials] (Spring 2001, 2002)
  • Physics 217: The Structure of Matter [team-taught with J. Urbach] (Fall 2001)
  • Physics 253: Quantum Mechanics (Fall 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)
  • Physics 256: Particle Physics and Cosmology (Spring 2006)
  • Physics 503: Computational Techniques (Spring 2004, 2005)
  • Physics 504: Numerical Simulation Techniques (Fall 2001, 2002, Spring 2004, 2005)
  • Physics 535: Physics Lab Rotation (Fall 2004)
The students have sometimes convinced me to offer additional courses outside of our normal curriculum (taken as Physics 260: Special Topics in Physics). These have included:
  • Relativity and Quantum Mechanics (Spring 2002)
  • Biological Pattern Formation (Fall 2003)
  • Statistical and Classical Mechanics (Fall 2004)
  • Particle Physics and Cosmology (Spring 2005)
Before coming to Georgetown, I taught two courses at Cornell University:
  • Physics 481/681: Pattern Formation and Spatiotemporal Chaos [team-taught with E. Bodenschatz]
  • Physics 216: Introduction to Special Relativity
