 Dr.
Camata’s teaching emphasizes the integration
of research and education. While leading an
extramurally-funded research group, he has
served as major advisor for students pursuing
3 M.S. and 7 Ph.D. degrees and has mentored
20 other students in research activities (5
HS; 9 UG; 6 HS Teachers). His classroom teaching
has spanned all levels from High School Physics
to Advanced Graduate courses. He has developed
the UAB course Nanoscale Science & Applications,
which draws students from Physics, Math, Biochemistry,
and Materials Science, as well as Mechanical,
Electrical, Biomedical, and Materials Engineering.
Using digital video and computational resources
integrated into laboratory experiences, Dr.
Camata also introduced at UAB the use of the “The
Physics of Everyday Life” concept in
the teaching of Physical Science
to non-science majors.
