Chair and Professor, Physics
My research focuses mainly on the theory of thermal conductivity in solids. In particular, I have worked in the fusion energy field, applying phonon scattering theory to determine the effect of the fusion environment on various materials (most recently in diamond). While at Merrimack, I have continued with this and other work and have received grants and consulting contracts from various organizations, including the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Boston Scientific.
The Northeastern Law alumna, who began working at Merrimack College in 2019, oversees all legal matters affecting the College including litigation, contracts, policies and Title IX compliance.
