In this interview, David Zierler, Oral Historian for AIP, interviews Steve Feller, B.D. Silliman Professor of Physics at Coe College. Feller recounts his childhood in Brooklyn, his early interests in history and his education at Brooklyn Tech. He describes his experiences at Clarkson University and his research in physics and his adventures in small business. Feller explains the circumstances leading to his graduate work at Brown where he worked with Phil Bray who pioneered the use of NMR to study glass. He describes his realization that he loved to teach physics to undergraduates, which led to his appointment to the physics department at Coe. In the second half of the interview, Feller discusses his 30 year project to transform the physics program at Coe into one of the most engaged and successful departments in the country. He discusses his commitment to Sigma Pi Sigma, and in the last portion of the discussion, he describes his ongoing research on studying the physical properties of glass.
