Kerry Kuehn

Kerry Kuehn is Professor of Physics at Wisconsin Lutheran College, where he teaches astronomy, mechanics, and advanced quantum theory while operating a fluid dynamics research laboratory. His interdisciplinary work bridges experimental physics and the history/philosophy of science, particularly through his textbook series A Student's Guide through the Great Physics Texts.

Education includes:

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara
• B.S. in Applied Physics, Cornell University

Research focuses on experimental fluid dynamics (vortex rings, convection patterns) and astrophysical modeling (tidal instabilities), with recent investigations into soap film dynamics as analogs for atmospheric phenomena. He maintains collaborations with the American Physical Society and Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium.

Publications demonstrate innovative experimental methodologies for studying fluid behavior, alongside theoretical explorations of celestial mechanics. His pedagogical work emphasizes historical scientific texts to contextualize modern physics concepts.

Teaching integrates laboratory experiments with philosophical inquiry, including specialized courses on science-apologetics intersections. Chapel talks explore connections between theology and scientific observation.
