My name is Eric Tompkins and I live in Bayshore, Long Island. I graduated from SUNY Albany with a BS in Physics and am currently matriculated in the MAT program at Stony Brook University. I plan on graduating with my Masters in Arts and Teaching in May 2004 and hope to become a high school physics teacher in the near future.

I am eager to observe and experiment with Dr. Noé so that I can relate real life phenomena to my students in a way that is fun and relevent to them. I currently work for a contracting company and build houses all over Long Island. With little free time I have, I like to play guitar, sports, go camping, and work on building personal little projects.
