Studies in Theoretical Physics, Volume 1

Dr. Daniel Erenso has been working as a professor of physics at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) since 2003. He received his PhD (2003) from the University of Arkansas (UA), Advanced Diploma (1999) from Abdul Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ASICTP), a BSc (1990), and MSc (1997) from Addis Ababa University (AAU) in physics. For decades, Dr. Erenso has taught, researched, and mentored at different universities. He has taught several introductory and advanced physics courses. He received the MTSU College of Basic & Applied Sciences (CBAS) Excellence in Teaching Award in 2011. Inspired by the COVID19 pandemic, he has recently published a book, Virtual and Real Labs for Introductory Physics II Optics, modern physics, and electromagnetism. Dr. Erenso has also maintained active theoretical and experimental physics research in quantum optics and biomedical optics. He has published more than 36 and presented over 60 research works. He has received Sigma Xi the Scientific Research Society Aubrey E Harvey, outstanding graduate research award from the UA (2003), MTSU Foundations Special Project Award (2005), MTSU, CBAS Distinguished Research Award (2016), and a nomination for American Physical Society (APS) Prize for a Faculty Member for Research in an Undergraduate Institution (2020). His excellence in teaching and research earned him the Fulbright Scholar Award in 2016.
