I have been a member of the faculty at The Sage Colleges, Troy and Albany, N.Y., for over twenty years. I received my Doctorate in physics from the University at Albany in 1983, and my research interests include ion-implantation metallurgy, spectroscopic analysis, and the integration of inquiry into science teaching at all levels. My latest interest is forensic science; as chair of my division, I was responsible for the creation of the B.S. program in forensic science at Russell Sage College (RSC) and now have the title of coordinator of the program. I am responsible for the upkeep of the curriculum, and the advisement of the students in the forensic science major.
