Associate Professor, History of Science and Technology
My primary research interests are in the history of science, technology, and national security; the relationships between technology and institutional culture; and public perceptions of science and technology in the United States.
I teach courses on the history of science in the western world, of science and technology in the United States, and of science and technology for national security in Cold War "Atomic America."
I am also engaged in the study of emerging national security threats in the aftermath of the Cold War and in efforts to improve public school science education in New Mexico and the nation.
