Personal blog for Alex Small, a young and cranky traditionalist physics professor.
Current Reading
This blog is primarily for me to blog my responses to books that I'm reading. Sometimes I blog about other stuff too, though.

Article in IHE
Yesterday I had an opinion piece published at Inside Higher Ed on the topic of diversity questions in faculty job interviews. In short, I think that these essays are some mix of useless, counter-productive, and (as with most useless and counter-productive things) well-intentioned.
I'm an associate professor of physics at Cal Poly Pomona. My research interests are mostly in biomedical applications of optics (especially theoretical limits to superresolution, and also light scattering calculations), with some side interests in percolation theory.
I am using this blog to chronicle my responses to books that I'm reading, particularly books about higher education issues. It's a way to work out issues in my mind.
