Dr. Hough is currently studying intrinsically disordered proteins using solution NMR, light microscopy, and theory. Proteins containing disordered domains perform many important cellular functions, and are often used by cells to respond to their environments. Dr. Hough's lab focuses on two protein classes, those involved in yeast cellular stress response and the cytoskeletal proteins alpha- and beta-tubulin.

Spring 2019
Covers an introduction to the physics of living systems. Focuses on how living systems are able to generate order, with both physical principles and biological examples. Covers the development of quantitative models for biological systems, including estimates. Taught from a physics perspective, with biology background introduced as needed. Recommended prerequisite: PHYS 4230. Same as MCDB 5560 and PHYS 4560 and PHYS 5560.

PHYS 1110 - General Physics 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Spring 2020 / Fall 2020
First semester of three-semester sequence for science and engineering students. Covers kinematics, dynamics, momentum of particles and rigid bodies, work and energy, gravitation, and simple harmonic motion. Degree credit not granted for this course and PHYS 1115.
PHYS 2010 - General Physics 1
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2021 / Fall 2021
Includes three lectures, one two-hour laboratory/recitation per week, plus three evening exams in the fall and spring semesters. Covers mechanics, heat and sound. Thorough presentation of fundamental facts and principles of physics using algebra and trigonometry. Designed for life science majors, including premed students. Natural science majors with a knowledge of calculus and others taking calculus are urged to take the calculus-based courses PHYS 1110, PHYS 1120, PHYS 1140 and PHYS 2130, rather than PHYS 2010 and PHYS 2020. Department enforced prerequisites: ability to use high school algebra and trigonometry.
