Box 116 Sanger, Texas 76266 USA (940)458-7447 Meet Your Speakers: Jeffrey M. Lichtman | John C. Mannone Meet Your Speaker Professor John C. Mannone teaches Physics and Astronomy, as well as Chemistry and Mathematics in east Tennessee area colleges as high schools (Distinguished Profession Program). He is driven to develop a "world class" courses, especially in astronomy, wherever he teaches. And radio astronomy factored profoundly into this. A timeline of involvement with radio astronomy is shown below: May 2001 Radio Astronomy in the Undergraduate Classroom, Chautauqua Conference, MIT Haystack Observatory, Westford, MA May 2001 A Radio View of the Universe and the New Green Bank Telescope, Chautauqua Conference, NRAO, Green Bank, WV Aug 2001 The Small Radio Telescope Workshop, Pisgah Radio Astronomical Institute, Rosman, NC Jul 2002 Joined the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA) Jul 2002 SARA 2002 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Radio Astronomy: A Vision for Community Colleges Nov 2002 SARA 2002 Regional Conference Lecture (Oak Ridge, TN) Multiwavelength Imaging and Radio Astronomy Jun 2003 SARA 2003 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Solar Physics with 20 MHz Antennas: Time and Frequency Analyses Jun 2004 SARA 2004 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Detection and Analysis of Plasma Bubbles at 20 MHz Radio Frequency Jun 2004 -Jun 2006 Elected to the SARA Board of Directors Dec 2004 SARA 2004 Regional Conference Lecture (Arecibo, Puerto Rico) Spectral Analysis Techniques in Amateur Radio Astronomy Jun 2005 Appointed SARA International Ambassador Jun 2005 SARA 2005 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Cavity Waves in Astrophysical and Ionospheric Plasmas Jun 2006 Approved SARA/NRAO Navigator Jun 2006 SARA 2006 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections: Impact on Astrophysical Plasmas Opening the Radio Universe to Visually Impaired Students (contributing author) Nov 2006 Appointed SARA Senior Editor of Radio Astronomy Jun 2007 SARA 2007 Annual Conference Lecture (Green Bank, WV) Gamma Ray Bursts and Amateur Radio Astronomy Jun 2008 SARA 2008 Annual Conference Lectures (Green Bank, WV) NASA Space Exploration and Radio Astronomy Innovative Experiments for the Radio Astronomy Classroom All of these things have been instrumental in astronomy outreach, both in and out of the classroom. Radio astronomy is easily convolved with other types of astronomy. The multidiscipline nature of astronomy in general and radio astronomy all the more, draws many to the hobby. Mannone's academic background is particularly well suited for radio astronomy because it is a varied composite of the sciences and engineering: Electrical Engineering (Ph.D. candidate/University of Tennessee Knoxville, 2002), Plasma Physics (M.S./University of Tennessee Knoxville, 1988), Physical/Theoretical Chemistry (M.S./Georgetown University, Washington, DC, 1978), Chemistry (B.S./Loyola College, Baltimore, MD, 1970). Therefore, he is a well sought out speaker because his lectures are full-width and additionally made more interesting because of the historical, cultural, and literary aspects not often found in strictly academic presentations. His academic interests are in astrophysical plasmas, particularly the solar wind and the ionosphere. Also, the study of electromagnetic theory, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), wave-particle interaction and plasma bubbles. Radio astronomy plays an important role in their study. However, he is impassioned to advance astronomy education and astronomy outreach, especially in developing novel, as well as inexpensive, experimental techniques and analytical tools. Most notably is the application of fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques to amateur radio astronomy. Professor Mannone desires improvement in the recognition of the important role amateur radio astronomy has in the professional radio astronomy community.
