He was a visiting assistant professor at Dickinson from 1994-1997 and then re-joined the faculty in 2001. David&#8217;s research specialty centers around magnetic fluid pattern formation (theoretical, computational, and experimental), but he also likes working with students on smaller-scale research projects. In addition, he is very active in curriculum development and is the primary author of an activity guide for non-science students titled &#8220;Explorations in Physics: An Activity-Based Approach to Understanding the World.&#8221; His most recent new project is developing a number of single-photon quantum mechanics experiments in the undergraduate curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, David loves spending time with his wife Virginia, 14-year old son Adam, and 12-year old daughter Kyra. He plays and coaches soccer and enjoys playing acoustic guitar and mandolin. He is currently editor of the American Journal of Physics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; David P.
