Summary
Calvin Berggren is an associate professor of physics with 13 years of experience blending rigorous research in theoretical and computational physics with hands-on undergraduate teaching at primarily undergraduate institutions. He has developed from-scratch curricula for nearly 20 courses—ranging from computational physics and quantum mechanics to introductory labs—and led efforts to integrate computation across the physics program. Calvin has been key personnel on NSF-funded projects, mentored numerous student research and senior-thesis projects, and contributed to the development of collider event-generator software during a research affiliation at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Comfortable in both classroom and research settings, he also brings practical IT and curriculum-change experience, having led LMS and cloud-system implementations. Based in New Braunfels, TX, he combines deep technical expertise with a student-centered, holistic mentoring approach that prepares undergraduates for careers in science and engineering.
