George Klein Senior Lecturer in Physics Ph.D. New York University Email: klein@andrew.cmu.edu Phone: (412) 268-1300 FAX: (412) 681-0648

I got my Ph.D. in physics at New York University in the area of General Relativity theory.

At Carnegie Mellon University, I am a Senior Lecturer in the Physics Department and also a staff member of the Carnegie Mellon Action Project (CMAP).

I actively participate in the physics department and university initiatives to improve the teaching, performance, academic assistance, and retention of students in the introductory physics courses. I teach recitations in all of the four introductory courses in science and engineering and have extensive office hours for the students in these courses. I actively assists in managing and teaching the introductory courses, and in the training and advising of Graduate Teaching Assistants.

The CMAP program provides academic assistance to minority students. I actively participate with the CMAP staff in the retention program, in advising all CMAP students in academic and personal matters, and in collaborative initiatives and programs to enhance and monitor the performance of minority students in the introductory physics courses. During the summer Carnegie Mellon University and CMAP offer The Summer Academy for Math and Sciences (SAMS) program, which is a pre-college program for junior and senior high school minority students. As the CMAP physics instructor for the SAMS program, I designed the content and structure of the summer physics course. I also developed its teaching format in accord with the physics department general initiatives to improve the introductory physics courses.
