Matthew S Povich

Dr. Povich's students have successfully pursued numerous undergraduate research internships, admission to graduate school in astronomy, physics, and related fields, and secured jobs in various professions, including aerospace, satellite remote sensing, and teaching. Many of these students have enrolled in supervised research or senior project courses (e.g. AST 2000/4000, PHY 4610+4620).

He has taught the following regular semester courses at CPP (beginning with the most recent):

• AST 1010 – Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe
• AST 3240/A – Observational Astronomy, course developed in collaboration with Dr. Breanna Binder.
• AST 4240/A – Astrophysics I: Stars and Planetary Systems
• SCI 1020A – Science and Math Freshman Experience II
• AST/ANT 3050 – Archaeoastronomy
• PHY 4630 – Undergraduate Seminar

Prior to semester conversion in 2018, Dr. Povich taught the yearlong calculus-based introductory physics sequence, 2-quarter advanced electricity and magnetism sequence, 2-quarter advanced astrophysics sequence, and piloted observational astronomy as 1-quarter special topics course.
