I am very pleased to announce that I have accepted Dean Daryll DeWald’s offer to become professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, effective February 1st, 2017. I will be relocating from my current position at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and also building a new research laboratory at WSU in experimental atomic physics. I am very excited about this opportunity and look forward to serving the faculty, students, and staff of this great department!
