EDUCATION
B.S. Chemistry with American Chemical Society certification as Professional Chemist from the University of Miami (UM).
M.S. Physics Education from Florida International University (FIU).
MBA from FIU.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Nine years as an industrial R&D Chemist in the field of paint and coatings
Three years managerial experience in cement manufacturing
Thirty-Three years teaching high school Physics as well as some classes of AP Chemistry and Astronomy.

I am also an Amateur Astronomer.

I spent time doing Quasar research with a professor before Quasars were known to be active galactic nuclei. At the time he had data from various sources showing power emissions across wavelengths from radio waves to gamma rays. Looking at the time data, I decided to put them together in an animated time loop to look for any trends or patterns. What I found was astounding. The emissions rose and fell along the wavelengths in an undulating pattern similar to a standing wave on a spring. We never figured why that pattern occurred and to this day more than forty years later, I still don't have an answer, although to be honest, I haven't really kept up on research in the field.

Welcome to the forum.
 
Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
