Experience
and Background:
Dr. Tournier
is an assistant professor of physics at Lewis and Clark Community College. While
he completed his Ph.D. through the University of Missouri, Rolla, Dr. Tournier’s
research projects included: RF and Terahertz frequency sensor optimization for
the Army Research Lab; and contribution to ongoing research through DARPA and
the ARO in cooperation with the MURI (Multi University Research Initiative) at
the University of California, Santa Barbara . Dr. Tournier spent 10 years
working as a carpenter, contractor and machinist prior to and during the
completion of his graduate Education. His fabricating and construction
experience lend a real world mind set to theoretical exploration, and a well
grounded and practical methodology for experimental research. Dr. Tournier’s
current research interests include the theoretical Modeling of small signal
sensors, and the experimental optimization of sensing systems from the radio (RF)
through terahertz frequency regimes. |
