Pre-orientation Faculty Advisors

Casey Cooper
Assistant Professor
Economics and Business
Accounting, auditing, not-for-profit accounting

I'm a  2003 Gordon graduate, and I returned to campus in the fall of 2005 as an Adjunct Professor while working as an auditor for an international accounting firm. I accepted a full-time position with the Economics and Business department in the following year. In addition to my accounting courses, I am currently working with Gordon's Center for Nonprofit Organization Studies and Philanthropy. I have developed courses in nonprofit management and accounting for the new minor in Nonprofit Organization Management and Social Entrepreneurship. I am excited to work with students across a variety of majors and passionate about using accounting and business knowledge as a ministry.

Fun Facts:
When not in the classroom, I am an avid sports fan of teams both on and off campus. As a Gordon grad I can answer many of the questions an incoming student may have.

Dr. David S. Lee
Chair, Physics Department
Director, 3-2 Engineering Program

B.S.E. Engineering-Physics, Princeton University (minor: Creative Writing)
M.S., Ph.D. Applied Physics, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

I am a materials scientist by background with a particular interest in advanced metal alloys, ceramics, and of late, biomaterials. Materials science is the study of the relationship between the atomic level arrangements of atoms and molecules, the macroscopic properties (like hardness, color, conductivity, toughness, etc), and the processing that was done to the material to give it those properties. My students have worked on lots of interesting projects over the last few years. Some have studied the thermophysical properties of metallic glasses. Other students have studied the mechanical properties of materials as varied as super-high strength steel (Aermet 100) to dental composites and cell membranes using our atomic force microscope in nanoindentation mode. Still others work on the fluid physics of microdroplets and nanodroplets. Finally, some students work on the analysis and measurement of materials properties of golf club heads. This summer, two of our students are doing NSF-sponsored summer internships as part of the REU program, and two others are doing summer internships at high-tech companies.

Fun Facts:
We have two 3-d printers and a 3-d laser scanner so we can print out solid objects that we scan in. At the moment, I'm messing around with improving bass lures using this technique. Also, I know the ponds and waters around Wenham and fish all of them with both flyrod and spinnning rod. I'm on the Golf Digest Hot list Technical panel.

Dr. Andrew Logemann
Department Chair
Assistant Professor of English

B.A. Wheaton College, M.A., Ph.D. Indiana University

My research and teaching focus broadly on literary history and the long twentieth century in British literature, with particular emphases on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century novel, postcolonial studies, critical theory, cultural studies, and modernism. My most recent research explores the interplay between physics and literature during the modernist period, in which I find a striking confluence of ideas that invites a reconsideration of the relationship between scientists, artists, writers and the culturally mediated work they produce.

Contact Dr. Logemann:
I’m pretty flexible as far as availability goes. My office phone will only be useful during business hours, but I’m available via Facebook/email/IM/Skype in the evenings or weekends.

Dr. Craig Story
Associate Professor
Pre-Health Professions Advisor

B.S. Gordon College, Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Brandeis University, Post-Doc at MIT and Harvard Medical School under Hidde L. Ploegh

My research interests have focused on molecular immunology. My graduate and post-doctoral work involved work on the mechanism of antibody transport across the human placenta, and the ways viruses trick the immune system to escape detection. I also worked in the biotechnology industry in the area of drug delivery using the body's own antibody transport system. Most recently, my research has focused on generating antibodies for diagnostic tools that can be used by the world's poor. On a recent sabbatical at the Whitehead Institute, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I was able to explore the use of new micro-scale tools to speed up the process of antibody screening. I am now using this "microengraving" technology with students at Gordon College.

Fun Facts:
I enjoy unusual hobbies, for instance I taught myself to ride a unicycle in 5th grade. I want to be able to play the didgeridoo, and I am also trying to learn to play the musical saw. Yeah, that's weird, I know. I also enjoy growing my own vegetables during the summer. Last summer we grew pumpkins successfully for the first time and cooked them into pies.

Whenever I'm on my computer, I'm happy to be contacted. Often I will reply fairly quickly.
