Nicole J. Moore, Ph.D.

I study optics, the physics of light. I fell in love with optics as a field of study during a lab project I completed while studying abroad in Paris. I've been playing with light ever since. My research students are designing and building a modified optical tweezer that will allow for light scattering measurements. I love to be in the classroom, where I try to promote active engagement in physics. My classes feature short periods of lecture alternating problem solving activities, predominantly including the use of clickers (classroom response systems).
