Lots of music in my life, I play ragtime piano, and further annoy my folk-musician friends by insisting they let me sit in on their sets with Tuba, Clarinet and Trombone. When I'm not grading papers or working on theoretical physics I sometimes perform at the Open Mic, Thursday Nights at the Bazaar Cafe . Currently I rotate between three institutions, Santa Clara University , and the College of San Mateo . I teach Astronomy, Physics, and Computer Programming.
Recent work involves spinning particles in gravitational fields.
