David Moffett Henry Keith and Ellen Hard Townes Professor of Physics Furman University  3300 Poinsett Highway  Greenville, SC 29613  ph. 864-294-2259 fax 864-294-3365

I am a professor in the Physics Department at Furman University, where I teach courses in physics and astronomy, and manage the Timmons Planetarium in the new Townes Science Center. 

When I'm not teaching, my research interests include the study of the remnants of supernovae, radio pulsars, and the promotion of astronomy through education and outreach. Currently, I and Furman students are collaborating with UNC-Asheville astronomers to develop a two-element interferometer, the Dedicated Interferometer for Rapid Variability (DIRV), at the PARI site using their 26-m telescopes at 2.2 and 8.4 GHz.
