Introduction
Welcome
to the personal page of Dr. Brian C. Hoffman, Computer Science
Instructor at the Community College of Baltimore County. Let me
begin by letting you know a little bit about what you can expect
to find within these pages. I created this web site to meet the
following needs:
- to display
such entertaining works as my curriculum
vitae and teaching
philosophy.
- to provide
an online publications
listing
- to make
available information for courses or lectures that I have taught
- to provide
information about my personal hobbies and interests
- to keep in
touch with family and friends
- and finally,
to collect links to sites that I find useful, interesting, or
just plain fun.
I
hope that you, the reader, will find this page easy to navigate
and useful. I gladly welcome any suggestions and/or additions to
my lists of links. About
the Author For
those who might be interested, I am currently a Computer Science
Instructor at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC).
So far, I have taught courses in both web page design and Internet
literacy. Prior to working at CCBC I was a postdoctoral researcher
at the Johns Hopkins University. While at Johns Hopkins, I was involved
in the study of conical intersections of potential energy surfaces
and nonadiabatic chemistry under the guidance of Professor Davidf
R. Yarkony. I received my B.A. degree from the Morris branch of
the University of Minnesota in 1995, where I majored in chemistry
and minored in physics, and my Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry
from the University of Georgia in 1999. My area of specialty
is ab initio electronic structure theory - the computation
of atomic and molecular properties from fundamental or first principles.
My
graduate school advisor was Professor H. F. Schaefer at the
Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry. |
