I am only on campus one day per week. It is not a good idea to try contacting me by phone if you need a quick response.

I use Canvas for announcements as well as for posting solutions and grades for my classes.

Schedule of classes:

Spring 2026

  • ASTR 102 - online, with asynchronous meetings on Zoom at 3:30 pm on Tuesdays and 6:00 pm on Thursdays. These lectures are recorded for students to review at their convenience. 
  • ASTR 105L - Tuesdays, 7 pm - 9:45 pm in PST 124
  • PHYS 201 - asynchronous online lecture, starting February 2.

Student hours are conducted through Zoom. If you are not in one of my classes, you can still attend. Please email me for the link.

  • Mondays, 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm,
  • Thursdays, 3 pm - 4 pm, and
  • Fridays, 3 pm - 4 pm
  • Contact me for an appointment if these times do not work for you. Please pick a time that does not conflict with my listed schedule.

I have also conducted research with students as made possible by the HSI/STEM grant. If you are interested in pursuing studies in astronomy, physics, or astrophysics, I recommend you look at opportunities through CAMPARE and Cal-Bridge.

If you would like me to recommend you for a scholarship or your transfer school, please review and follow these guidelines.

All students in my courses are bound to the Cerritos College Academic Honesty policy.
