Stephanie Salomone Chair of Mathematics Department
Heather Dillon Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
"My research is focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency. I typically work on projects that use advanced heat transfer or thermodynamics techniques to address energy problems."
Buck Taylor Associate Professor of Chemistry
"It’s powerful for students to see how the principles they learn in class can be used to solve the latest research problems."
Eric Anctil Associate Professor of Education
"I am exploring how technology is affecting our relationships to each other, as well as the things we do."
Benjamin Gallegos Assistant Professor of Education
"Ben’s early experiences working with children with disabilities began at the YWCA After-School Program, where he was inspired to become a teacher. "
Elliot Mylott Instructor of Physics
"Elliot’s work focuses on how to improve physics instruction, particularly for students in the health sciences."
Laura Dyer Associate Professor of Biology
"Dr. Dyer’s research lab focuses on how the coronary arteries connect to the aorta during development and how prenatal alcohol exposure alters cardiac innervation."
Nicole Ralston Assistant Professor of Education
"As an experienced classroom teacher, research coordinator, and instructional coach, I relish the opportunity to support our district partners by providing much-needed, district-driven research that will support educational change and improvement."
Jacquie Van Hoomissen Professor of Biology
"Jacquie Van Hoomissen's scholarly work centers on two areas including: 1. How physical activity and exercise benefit overall health and wellbeing, and 2. Higher Education change as it relates to adoption of inclusive teaching practices."
Ryan Kenton Associate Professor of Biology
"My research revolves around the human bacterial pathogen Vibrio vulnificus and its close relatives. Specifically, in my lab, we study how it steals iron from a host, how it expels antibiotics, and where it is located out in the wild."
Tara Prestholdt Professor of Biology
"I am interested in marine and terrestrial invertebrates and my research spans many aspects of ecology, ethology, and evolution."
Amy Beadles-Bohling Senior Lecturer, Biology
"Collaborative group exams allow students to practice important skills needed for their future professions and to enhance their understanding and retention of concepts."
