W. Scott McCullough

W. Scott McCullough serves as Associate Professor in the Division of Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science at Indiana Wesleyan University, conducting interdisciplinary research bridging computational biophysics and STEM education. His work focuses on lipid membrane structures through molecular dynamics simulations while advancing classroom pedagogy via technological integration.

Academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Purdue University (1988)
• M.Sc. from Purdue University (1985)
• B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from Emporia State University (1981)

Research spans two interconnected domains: computational biophysics investigations of biomolecular systems using high-performance computing resources, and educational innovation centered on GeoGebra-based teaching tools for practical physics/math applications. Current biophysics work examines pure lipid membrane properties through simulation methodologies.

Operational infrastructure includes a specialized Linux workstation with dual 8-core Intel Haswell processors, dual Nvidia GTX-980 GPUs, and 128GB RAM. Collaborative networks extend to Computer Science colleague Joe Hoffert and biophysics researchers across multiple institutions.
