PEOPLE


J.D. Armstrong
Solar Astronomer and Outreach Coordinator, UH Maui Institute for Astronomy, Maui





         
Thomas Chun
Retired Physic Teacher at Kamehameha School, Big Island






      Tiffany Coke           
Physic Teacher at Punahou School, QuarkNet Teacher, Oahu
Tiffany enjoys working with students through courses on physics and astronomy at Punahou School in Honolulu.
With significant help from the wonderful people in this outreach group, she runs an annual
day-long workshop for students across the island to learn more about particle physics using data from CERN.
Between getting an undergraduate degree in physics and a masters degree in physics education,
Tiffany interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, comparing images from the Galileo satellite and the IRTF on Mauna Kea.
She counts as one of her favorite physics moments a lucky encounter with Sir Peter Higgs on July 3, 2012,
just one day before the announcement of his namesake boson, when he graciously answered a few of her many questions.




James Cox
Physic Teacher at Kapa’a High School, Kauai




          
Peter Grach
Physic Teacher at Kamehameha School Kapalama, QuarkNet Teacher, Oahu






Warren Huelsnitz
Physics Teacher at Kamehameha Scholls Kapalama High School, Oahu
Warren began a life in physics after retiring from the Navy in 2006.
He earned his PhD in high energy physics at the University of Maryland,
while a member of the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory Collaboration.
That was followed up by a couple years at Fermilab working on the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation experiment.
After conducting research in neutrino physics and neutrino astrophysics for several years,
Warren turned to teaching physics to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.  





Duc Ong
Physic Teacher at Kaiser High School, Oahu
Duc backgound in particle physics start with his Master in Science theses,
on data from BES with Dr. Fred Harris at UH Manoa in 2011.
Duc is currently a physic teacher at the Kaiser High school.
His interest in QuarkNet and Cosmic Ray e-Lab, lead him in partecipating in a couple of projects
and he's willing to learn more, in order to incorporate this kind of experiences in his curriculum.
As a part of the IB philosophy of internation-mindedness, Duc find that a collaboration of physicists
from all over the world is an excellent way for his students to see this in action.
Duc has been selected to partecipate at the Data Camp in Fermilab in Batavia, IL.
Data Camp is designed to be an introductory workshop for both new and veteran teachers of physics
and physical science to learn about particle physics and high energy physics.
