David Pengra is a Teaching Professor and Advanced Laboratory Manager in the Department of Physics at the University of Washington. He is affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences and oversees the Advanced Instructional Laboratories located in the Physics/Astronomy Building. His role involves teaching laboratory courses and maintaining experimental facilities for undergraduate and graduate physics education.
David Pengra manages the advanced laboratories focused on experimental physics, including electronics (analog and digital), optics, condensed matter physics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and particle physics, and data analysis. These labs provide hands-on training using modern equipment and computational tools. He teaches courses such as Physics 331 (Optics), Physics 334 (Analog Electronics), Physics 335 (Digital Electronics), Physics 431 (Condensed Matter Physics), Physics 432 (Atomic and Molecular Physics), Physics 433 (Nuclear and Particle Experiments), and Physics 434 (Data Analysis).
While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his contributions to physics education and laboratory management are central to his profile. He advises students through his teaching and laboratory supervision but no specific advisees are named. The Advanced Instructional Laboratories under his management support both instructional activities and research-related training, with facilities distributed across the 2nd floor of the B wing in the Physics/Astronomy Building.
