Sky Scholar | Can Stars BEND LIGHT? General Relativity and Gravity with Dr. Edward Dowdye! @SkyScholar | Uploaded July 2018 | Updated October 2024, 14 minutes ago.
Dr. Edward Dowdye obtained his B.S. in Mathematics, Electronics Technology and Physics from Hampton University in 1967. He then completed a Diplom-Atomphysik (Atomic Physics) at the Physikalisches Institut der Universität Heidelberg in Germany, specializing in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance on free atoms and ions in confined plasma vessels to determine optical resonance of free ions. He did further studies in Astronomy and Astrophysics at Universität Heidelberg. Eventually, he was awarded a grant from the Preparing Future Faculty Program at Howard University in Washington, DC, where he obtained the Ph.D. in Laser Spectroscopy Physics at the Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory, supported by the Center for the Study of Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Atmospheres, a research effort supported by NASA. Dr. Dowdye has taught Physics at Lincoln and Cheyney Universities in Pennsylvania, Marymount University in Northern Virginia, and Southeastern and Howard Universities in Washington, DC. He instructed Experimental Physics and served as a mentor for German graduate students while pursuing the degree Diplom Atomphysik at Universität Heidelberg in Germany.
