Dr. Kevin Ludwick Principal Research Scientist I, SI Contact 301 Sparkman DriveOptics BuildingRoom 400CHuntsville, AL 35899 Campus Map 256.824.2527kevin.ludwick@uah.edu Biography Kevin earned his B.S. in Physics at the University of South Carolina, his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of North Carolina, and he was a Pirrung Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia. He was then an assistant professor at LaGrange College, where he also served as the Dual Degree Engineering Program Coordinator and continued his research in theoretical cosmology. Some of his outreach to students included judging science fairs and serving as the Science Olympiad tournament director at LaGrange College. He has served as an officer in different positions on the executive committee for the American Physical Society’s Forum for Early Career Scientists (FECS) since 2017 and has organized and chaired FECS sessions at APS conferences.
