Eric Myers
I am currently a Research Physicist in the Physics Department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. I work on the ATLAS experiment for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and on the D0 Experiment for the Tevatron II at Fermilab. Before joining the ATLAS and D0 efforts I taught physics full time in the U-M Physics department as a Visiting Assistant Professor. My background is actually in theoretical particle physics, with research interests in classical and quantum gravity.

Teaching
Some of the courses I have taught at Michigan:
- Physics 340 (Thermodynamics, Waves, Optics, and Relativity)
- Physics 260 (Honors Physics II- Electricity and Magnetism)
- Physics 262 - Modern Physics (Honors)
- Physics 140K (Keller version of General Physics I: Mechanics)
- Physics 140 - General Physics I: Mechanics
- Physics 126 - Electricity and Light
- Physics 106 - Everyday Physics
Research
My research interests are in Gravitation and Quantum Field Theory, and the possibility of bringing the two together. I use a combination of analytic and computational methods (whatever works).
I've recently become interested in a problem in classical gravitation: the effects of General Relativity on navigation and communications satellites. Today's engineers actually have to take GR into account in designing such systems.
For 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 I am working in experimental particle physics, on both the D0 Experiment for the Tevatron II at Fermilab and the ATLAS experiment for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
