Teaching Experience

1997-present Instructor, upper-level laboratory/lecture course in nuclear chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of California at Berkeley. I gave the lectures in the spring of 1997, and am currently giving the lectures and teaching the laboratory sections.
1983-present Instructor, upper-level laboratory/lecture course in nuclear instrumentation, Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of California at Berkeley. I give the lectures, teach the laboratory sections, design and modify experiments, and develop new material for the course.
1983 Research advisor for a masters student in Energy and Resources (Thesis advisor: A.H. Rosenfeld).
1968-1971 Research director for two postdoctoral researchers. Research topics: nuclear reaction (in-beam gamma-ray) spectroscopy, nuclear fission, including the first observation of high-spin, multi-particle states and a search for levels in the second potential well presumed to account for the existence of fission isomers.
1970 Research advisor for a PhD student in nuclear chemistry (Thesis advisor: J.O. Rasmussen). Research topic: nuclear decay-scheme spectroscopy, including the preparation of 242Cm of high radiochemical and radioisotopic purity, gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy with high-resolution Ge(Li) and Si(Li) spectrometers.
1961 Teaching Assistant, Analytical Chemistry, U.C. Berkeley.
