Bolster and maintain the energy reach of particle accelerators at Jefferson Lab and collaborators around the world to explore new physics frontiers.
The UITF (Upgraded Injector Test Facility) is a ~10 MeV research accelerator with a flexible design housed at Jefferson Laboratory. It is presently configured for electron production via a photo-gun, acceleration with a High-Q Superconducting Radiofrequency pair of Niobium cavities, and beam delivery to a cryogenic target of an experimental design.
Operation of the Radford University Planetarium including star tours appropriate to the season, guided planetarium shows, and occasional operation of the Selu Observatory.
Preparation of materials for laboratory experimentation, supervision of the labs while students learned (including answering questions, explanations, etc.), cleanup, and frequently grading both in varied subjects of chemistry and physics. Courses served: • General Physics, Algebra based (Physics 111/112) - Fall 2005 - Spring 2007 • General Chemistry (Chemistry 101/102) - Fall 2004 - Summer 2005 • Chemistry of Life [Nursing Chemistry] (Chemistry 120) - Fall 2004 - Summer 2005 • Modern Physics (Physics 305) - Fall 2006 • Geophysics (Physics 406) - Spring 2007
Upon demand - and by appointment - tutor students in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Mathematics (through Calculus).
Care, watering, and planting responsibilities related to the specimen collection maintained in the Biology Department Greenhouse. Specimens included a variety of succulents, cacti, orchids, and a number of more mundane specimens (though there was a Banana Tree).
