Activities
Mark directs all aspects of the research projects, including meetings with all personnel at least once a week, overall design and selection of components, basic scientific direction, overall design of data analysis software, and development of numerical algorithms. The educational development of the student and post-doctoral participants is a major goal of the projects. He spends a significant fraction of time monitoring and directing the progress of the students and post-doc to facilitate their educational development. During the semester, Mark teaches undergraduate, and graduate courses.
