Faculty ProfileBruce W. Liby
Education:
Teaching:I share in the teaching of all introductory physics and science courses that the Physics Department offers. I also teach the sophomore level Optics Courses that have a laboratory component. Students from other science and technology disciplines often take this course. The department usually offers a two-semester Research Problems course for juniors, which I have given for the past few years. Currently the students taking this course are building a novel interferometer that will study the thermal loading of optical materials. Research:My research efforts at Manhattan College are quite varied. I have studied photorefractive materials and their effects, perception of two-body systems, and currently have a physics education project under analysis. Students in my laboratory have access to a working optics research laboratory. Projects in photorefractive materials, interferometry, and holography are just some of the areas in which I have guided students. I ensure that students working with me have a thorough knowledge of optics research techniques that they can put to use in graduate school or on the job.
