Favorite Quote:   If I have seen more than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. (Sir Isaac Newton)

Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none. (William Shakespeare)

Why I Wanted to Be a Fellow:    In my opinion, an essential part of being a Professor is being able to relate with students. Further, I enjoy interacting with students as it keeps me in-tune with the student perspective of University life and, besides, it allows me to improve my American!
