Gregory Francis

Job Titles:
  • Emeritus Faculty
  • Professor Emeritus
Greg Francis is first and foremost a teacher. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young University, he taught recitation sections normally reserved for graduate students. Later as a graduate student studying plasma physics at MIT, he regularly found opportunities to teach classes normally reserved for research faculty. After finishing his doctorate in 1987 he served as a postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. Although his day job gave him the opportunity to work with world-class scientists on exciting problems, he found that he really preferred his night job, teaching physics classes at the local community college. In 1990, Greg joined the Physics Education Research Group at the University of Washington-Seattle, learning the science of effective physics teaching. Greg continued to experiment with active learning approaches in large introductory classes for 31 years at Montana State University, retiring in 2023. He is currently a Teaching Professor in the Physics Department at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
