Autor

David V. Guerra, Ph.D. is a Professor of Physics at Saint Anselm College (SAC), United States of America. During his time at SAC, he has taught many of the courses offered by the department, including the physics course for biology majors and has developed and taught courses in Laser Physics and Remote Sensing. At SAC, he has conducted Remote Sensing research both in instrument development and data analysis. Professor Guerra designed, built, and operated a novel lidar (laser radar) that utilized a holographic optical element (hoe) as its primary optics. This work was done in coordination with NASA-GSFC and resulted in a series of publications and the successful development of a lidar system that was flown by NASA using the (hoe) technology. Professor Guerra has also conducted research in the analysis of remote sensing data in the investigation of natural systems. As part of a National Science Foundation grant, Professor Guerra conducted research with student researchers and faculty from other universities from across New Hampshire to study natural systems throughout their state. He continues his collaborative remote sensing work investigating relationships between environmental conditions and other natural systems. Professor Guerra has also done work in Physics education research ranging from the development of new laboratory experiences to new pedagogies and even contributing chapters to a high school physics textbook.
