Jennifer Weinberg-Wolf

Jennifer Weinberg-Wolf is a Teaching Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She earned a double degree in Physics and Astronomy & Astrophysics from Harvard University and received her PhD from UNC's Physics department in 2006. Since joining the faculty in 2012, her focus has centered on physics education, including teaching introductory courses for physical scientists (Phys 119) and the general education course Phys 100 ('How Things Work'). She actively engages in K-12 science outreach, serves as an undergraduate academic advisor for physics majors, and participates in the department's diversity committee.

Her research background includes studying the optical properties of organic semiconductors during her graduate work with Dr. Laurie McNeil. While her current work emphasizes educational pedagogy, her earlier research contributions span semiconductor material characterization and nanotechnology.
