Jim Dull

James Dull began lecturing at The College of Idaho in 1998. His scholarly interests include small-telescope observations concentrating on variable stars, telescope automation, and astronomy education. The physics faculty offer several opportunities to students to join in with astronomy research. Dr. Dull invites students to participate in variable star research so they can; improve their understanding of scientific methods, learn how computers aid image analysis, and develop modern telescope techniques. What Dr. Dull appreciates the most about teaching at The College of Idaho is his students’ willingness to participate in class and their dedication to rigorous study. EDUCATION PhD, Astrophysics, Indiana University (1996) MS, Physics, Washington State University (1986) BS, Astrophysics, University of New Mexico (1983)

Kathryn Devine

I am an observational astronomer. My primary research interests are star formation and the interstellar medium. I obtained my PhD in Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, although I spent part of my graduate school career at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Very Large Array radio telescope. The Physics faculty offer several opportunities for students to join ongoing research projects or create their own independent studies.  By working on research in the physics department, students can gain experience with computer programming, data analysis, and scientific writing. EDUCATION Ph.D., Astronomy, University of Wisconsin, 2010 M.S., Astronomy, University of Wisconsin, 2005 B.A., Physics and Astronomy, Carleton College, 2002 SCHOLARSHIP & RESEARCH A complete list of Dr. Devine’s publications is available here: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3723-6362.
