| Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it |
The instructor specializes in crystallography, the study of how atoms are arranged in materials. They also serve on several national and international committees in this field.
This is an introductory physics course, but we will also touch on some topics related to crystals because they help connect basic physics ideas to real materials in an easy-to-understand way. |
