Richard Philip Taylor - Materials Science Institute - University of ...

have served on 34 Ph.D. committees for the Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology and Human
Physiology Departments at UO.
• Recent teaching mentoring (2000-2012) includes over 50 UO graduate and undergraduate teaching
assistants. During 2003-6, I participated in the National Science Foundation educational program
“Oregon Partnership to Enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education” in
which Ph.D. students teach at local schools.
• I have mentored high school teachers during the period 2005 - 09 (e.g. “Partners in Science’ program
funded by the Murdock Trust for which the teacher was awarded an NSF Einstein award for the work
conducted in my laboratory). I also participate in high school and university outreach programs at the
UO (for example, “SAIL: Summer Academy to Inspire Learning” in 2008 and 2012 and “UCORE:
Catalytic Outreach and Research Experiences in 2010) and other institutes (for example, MathPower
Summer Academy (2009)).
• I have mentored artists in art-science crossover projects. This has included giving lectures to artists
(Manchester School of Art, 1994-95) and also mentoring local artists (eg. S. Lowdermilk and T. Doyle,
Eugene Oregon, 2010-12).
• I have mentored public speakers. This has included holding on-line question-answer sessions for the
Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network, 2010.
• I am a consultant/reviewer for undergraduate textbooks (General Physics by Giancoli, Prentice Hall,
(2004, 2009), General Physics by Freedman et al, W.H. Freeman and Company, (2010, 2012) Physics
by Cutnell, Wiley (2011)), educational DVDs (The Teaching Company, 2007-8) and science magazines
(Science News, 2007). I was a consultant for NOVA’s ScienceNow TV program and reviewed their
script for “Digital Art Forgery” (2007). I also evaluate textbook submissions for publishers (e.g.
Viewpoints: Lessons in Mathematics and Art, Princeton University Press (2005)).
