This academic year, in fall 2025 I'm teaching PHYS 321A (Classical Mechanics I), and this spring
2026 I'll be teaching PHYS 217 (Thermodynamics -- note that in the previous 8 years we listed this as
PHYS 317).
Those course webpage links require a UVic
Brightspace account — but in any case here you can find the
syllabus for PHYS 321A and the
syllabus for PHYS 217/317.
Together with Jon Willis,
I'm also managing the the department colloquia
(PHYS/ASTR 460/560) during this 2025-26 full academic year (and we also managed it last academic year, 2024-25).
In spring 2025 (and in the previous 9 years) I taught
and PHYS 521A (Experimental Techniques in Particle, Astroparticle, and Nuclear
Physics), and will likely teach that again when it next runs in spring 2027.
In fall of 2019 and 2020, I also co-taught PHYS 515
(Data Analysis Techniques for Physics and Astronomy)
together with Dean Karlen and
Jody Klymak.
Here you can find the
the syllabus for PHYS 521A
and the syllabus for PHYS 515.
Back in fall 2015, I taught PHYS 214 (Electronics),
and I managed
the department colloquia (PHYS/ASTR 460/560)
during the full academic year for all of the years 2011-16.
Undergraduate classes I have additionally previously taught so far at UVic include:
PHYS 421A and 421B (4th-year Honours Laboratory),
PHYS 317 (Thermodynamics -- we currently [as of 2026] list this as PHYS 217,
but it was 317 from 2017 - 2025, 217 from 2011 - 2016, and 317
from when I arrived at UVic in 2006 until 2010! Regardless, it is effectively the same course.),
PHYS 321B (Advanced Classical Mechanics),
PHYS 421 (Statistical Mechanics),
PHYS 424 (Particle Physics), and
various directed studies classes (PHYS 490).
Graduate classes I have additionally taught so far at UVic include:
PHYS 506A and 506B (Particle Physics),
PHYS 521A (Experimental Techniques in Particle, Astroparticle, and Nuclear Physics), and
various directed studies classes (PHYS 580 and ASTR 580).
