Professor Robert Fries has 35 years of teaching experience in higher education, with over two decades of making computer technology more accessible and understandable to the public.
Prior to coming to Anderson, he was the Associate Director of the Fels Planetarium in Philadelphia. In 2004, he received the Excellence in Teaching award at Anderson University. He retired from full-time service in 2008 and continues to teach astronomy at AU.
Previously, his post-graduate work included field work in Antarctica, where a mountain is named after him as a result of his research on the Aurora Australis (similar to the Northern Lights).
