Biography
Dr. Abrahamyan, Ph.D., is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Physics at Florida International University, teaching introductory Astronomy and Physics courses for the last decade. He is also Astronomy Lab Manager and has developed both online and in-person versions of the labs taught at FIU. His online labs were certified by Quality Matters (QM), an international organization leading quality assurance in online and innovative digital teaching and learning environments.
His graduate research was in the field of high energy theoretical nuclear physics, developing a framework to examine the dynamics of the nuclear structure at the very short distances during electrodisintegration of light nuclei.
Such configurations were practically unexplored and may provide instantaneous hadronic densities comparable to those that may occur in neutron stars. Dr. Abrahamyan is very passionate about science public outreach mission of the university, having conducted multiple tours of FIU’s Stocker Astroscience Center for K-12 students and general public, and featured in the local and international media.
