HISTORY 0F ADMINISTRATIVE,

BUDGET, AND

LEADERSHIP	Associate Dean- served as Associate Dean in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics from August 2001 to September 2003 and then with Emeritus status worked for one and a half years in the Dean’s Office carrying out some of the responsibilities of the associate dean. During this period responsible for the budget and class schedule for the College, direct supervisor of some 12 technical staff in the College, responsible for dealing with many day-to day student and staff issues that come up in the Dean’s Office, oversee the work of several College wide committees, and stand in for the Dean as necessary.

Department Chair- fifteen years of experience as chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy Department at CSUS. Supervised the work of 14 tenure track faculty and some 8 part-time faculty, four staff positions in the Department, and for many years the 3 staff members in the Machine Shop. Responsible for coordinating the hiring of 6 tenure track faculty and some 30 part-time faculty. Have extensive experience providing academic advising for students and dealing with student complaints. Have written many Department documents including program reviews, curriculum justifications, and long range plans. Developed and maintained Department budgets including the endowment and scholarship funds and various foundation accounts. Reported each Fall to the faculty, activity for each account for the previous year and current balances.

University Research and Scholarly Activity Committee- Served for twelve years (1984-96) on the University Research Committee and was elected chair three different times. Collaborated in establishing the current proposal process to award some $500, 000 each year to faculty. Have a strong record of promoting University level support for research on campus. Continue to serve as a panel chair to review proposals each year.

PI and CO-PI on Externally Funded Projects- Collaborated with colleagues to secure some $5,000,000 in grant money to support scholarly work in both teaching and research. The work of grant management, including planning, oral and written communication, leadership, assessment, and budget, has given me extensive experience in these areas.

CMASE- Founder of CMASE, Center for Mathematics and Science Education, to provide professional development opportunities for some 900 Sacramento area science teachers. Chaired a faculty Committee to recommend to the Deans of the Colleges of NSM and Ed on how the Center’s mission and goal and organizational structure should be reconstituted in order to broaden its scope and impact, 20 page report submitted March, 2000. Director of this Center (1985 to 1990), and faculty advisor (1990- present). The budget of the Center is in the area of $300,000 annually and is generally self-supporting from external funds. This work has given me the form to provide leadership at both the local and state level in science education and the professional development of K-14 teachers.

HISTORY OF

SCHOLARLY

INTERESTS:	Science Education Research – (1985 – present) Advisor to CMASE, Principal Investigator of numerous grants supporting the professional development of K-14 teachers at the state and local levels, interests include developing best classroom practices using directed inquiry and constructivist strategies to promote student learning. Collaborated in securing some $3,500,000 to support this work.

Energy Research – (1975 - 1988) Collaboratively worked with Drs. Newcomb and Mahajan to study the thermal performance evaluation of residential buildings including monitoring and computer simulation of solar features and energy conservation strategies and their application to the peak electrical load problem. Co-PI on numerous funded contract grants to support this work totaling some $1,200,000.

Community Noise Control – (1975 – 1985) Research and consulting work on community noise problems. Developed a consulting business with Drs. Mahajan and Newcomb and worked with the various county Health Departments and testified before various review boards and building permit hearings around the Sacramento area. Some of this work centered around the use of the Department’s Anechoic Chamber facilities.

Holography, Lasers and Coherent Optics – (!972 – 1988) Curriculum development and main teaching area. Attended several workshops around the country and develop lab facilities in the Department with two NSF ILI grants totaling $56,000.

Experimental Solid State Physics – (1966 – 1978) Study of the electrical and photo-properties of tetragonal lead monoxide. Ph.D. work. Developed facilities in the Department to grow single crystals of lead monoxide and studied their photo-properties. For three years was PI on NSF funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates - grants to support this research project and others in the Department.
