About Conrad


Bio

I have a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Maryland, I've worked for 35 years at NASA (16 as a contractor and 19 as a civil servant) as an astrodynamicist and heliophysicist, and, for the last decade I've been a professor of phsyics and mathematics at Capitol Technology University.

I have a proven track record in mentoring young scientists and engineers, earning numerous awards. My students rank me very favorably in class evaluations (averaging 4.6 out of 5) and often...

I have a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Maryland, I've worked for 35 years at NASA (16 as a contractor and 19 as a civil servant) as an astrodynamicist and heliophysicist, and, for the last decade I've been a professor of phsyics and mathematics at Capitol Technology University.

I have a proven track record in mentoring young scientists and engineers, earning numerous awards. My students rank me very favorably in class evaluations (averaging 4.6 out of 5) and often lobby the school administration for me to teach follow-on courses.

My teaching philosophy is a blend of Feynman's maxim that teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it's about inspiring and igniting curiosity, and Epstein's motto that there is always an easy explanation, it's just often hard to find it. I believe I can genuinely help students to learn complex subjects deeply so that it sticks not just for a test but for a lifetime.

Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I have 6 semesters of teaching modern physics/quantum physics out of Halliday and Resnick and I have taken numerous graduate courses on quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and the intersection of quantum and statistical field theories. I have adapted quantum techniques to linearization of celestial mechanics with a particular focus on the overlap between the Magnus expansion, Dyson's equation, and the time-ordering expansion of the propagator (which engineers know as the state transition matrix).
