Biography

Chris Gould is Associate Dean for Administration in the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at North Carolina State University. He is an Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor of Physics and previously served for a decade as Head of the Department of Physics at NCSU. He is a nuclear physicist by training, with interests in cosmology, energy research and policy, science education, and neutron and neutrino physics. He has a PhD degree from the University of Pennsylvania (1969) and a bachelor's degree from Imperial College, London (1965). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, recipient of a President's Award from RTI-International, and a member of the American Association of Physics Teachers and of Sigma Xi. He has held visiting appointments at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Institut fur Kernphysik, Frankfurt, the Atomic Energy Institute, Beijing, the University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, and at the Oak Ridge Center for Advanced Studies.
