Research
Summary:
Prof.
Garelick's research has been in the areas of:
- Experimental
particle physics, mostly at Fermilab since 1973 and
recently in the design of experiments for the MIT 1
GeV electron linac.
- Physics
education.
- Collaborative
work in medical physics with Dr. C. Tun's group at the
West Roxbury VA Hospital.
The educational research was done as Co-Director (1989-1993)
with E. von Goeler of Northeastern's Introductory Physics
Laboratory (Approx. 600 students per week taught by 35 graduate
students in 140 minute labs.) Garelick and von Goeler were
responsible for a new student lab text, Introductory
Physics Experiments, 226 pgs., published by Kendall/Hunt,
1991. Also for more than five years Garelick has led a project
at the IPL which developed a sonar based apparatus for the
computer measurement of motion. This apparatus is now available
commercially and a total of 500 such measuring systems are
now used at more than one hundred schools.
