Jennifer Coy (email me)
Assistant Professor of Physics
Degrees: Bachelor's degrees in Engineering Physics and Computer Science Engineering, University of Toledo; master's degree in Physics, Purdue University; doctoral degree in gravitational astrophysics, Purdue University.
Professor Coy has been teaching courses at Saint Joseph's College since 2004. Prior to SJC, she served on the faculty for Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and Purdue University, where she earned her doctorate in gravitational astrophysics (the study of gravity in galaxies and between stars). Career highlights include winning the Clare Boothe Luce Research Fellowship from Purdue, a grant that provides one year's worth of funding for women in the sciences, and earning several teaching excellence awards. She is the co-author of Introductory Astronomy, a lab manual published in 2001 and has since been updated annually for current use in the undergraduate classroom. She also participated in a week-long program at the Erice School in Sicily, Italy, to study gravitational constant. |

Roger Olson (email me | visit my home page)
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Degrees: Bachelor's degree in Geology, State University of New York, College at Oneonta; master's and doctoral degrees in Mathematics, University of Notre Dame.
A self-coined "generalist," Professor Olson is interested in a broad range of environmental issues, with a special interest in resource conservation. He is also an advocate for efficient public transportation, particularly electric rail systems, because of their virtually pollution-free methods of operation. |
