Positions

I am a senior lecturer in Microbiology, where I teach and coordinate the General Microbiology Lab course (BioMi 2911). My goal for this course is to show students how scientists use experiments to learn new information about the microbes around us. In addition, I’m in charge of training TA’s how to teach. To that end, I offer a course, BIOMI 7960 - Current Topics in Microbiology Education. I am currently developing a new course in Public Health Microbiology with Dr. Jim Shapleigh.
