Top SchoolJulia Kamenetzky is an associate professor of physics with 12 years of experience bringing inquiry-based, research-informed instruction to undergraduate and general-education courses. She combines a strong research background in extragalactic submillimeter spectroscopy and molecular gas modeling—work supported by NSF fellowships and instruments like Herschel and ALMA—with a deep commitment to making astronomy accessible through active learning and scientific writing instruction. At Westminster College she mentors undergraduate researchers and designs curricula that demystify advanced topics like radio interferometry for non-majors. Her scholarly work uses Bayesian methods for galaxy-scale inference, and she maintains a publication record visible on ADS and Google Scholar.
