Brooks, Robert - Husson College - Science and Humanities

个人简介

Robert Brooks received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Idaho with a dual-major of Zoology and Chemistry with an Art Design minor. His Master of Science degree in Human Biodynamics and Physiology is from the University of Wisconsin. Most recently, Robert's Ph.D. was earned at Washington State University, where he again dual-majored and authored two dissertations in the disciplines of Biomechanics and Health Services Education. Robert worked as an Anatomical Pathologist at the Washington State University's Human Anatomy Lab for nearly a decade. He has been a Visiting Professor at Wake Forest University; an Assistant Professor at Lyndon State College in Vermont; an Assistant Professor/Director of Biomechanics Laboratory at Pacific University in Oregon; and an Assistant Professor at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

My teaching philosophy involves keeping students engaged in learning. To keep students engaged I try to make the material applicable and interesting. I find that students learn when the material is important and interesting to them, as opposed to just taking a class to check off another required course. I look for ways that the subject matter impacts the student and use examples to make the material important to the student. My current research interests involve studying ice streams. I am interested in many key areas including how ice streams start and stop, what impacts the movement, and how temperature profiles affect flow. Finding the sliding mechanism and how to model it will be essential to understanding ice streams.
