Bio:

I am an evolutionary biologist and behavioral neuroscientist. My lab studies the evolution and function of higher cognitive states, primarily pain. Our main animal models are cephalopods, and techniques in my lab include electrophysiology, genomics, and behavioral assays. 

We focus on plasticity in primary nociceptive neurons, looking at how this plasticity is mediated at the molecular level, and in turn, how this cellular plasticity mediates changes in neural circuits, behaviors and ultimately, the fitness of individual animals coping with injury or other painful experiences.

I have a long standing interest in the ethical basis of research animal regulation, and in the philosophical views of scientists and members of the public relating to the use of various animal species in scientific research. Through our lab's work on the evolution and functions of pain, we seek to advance the fields of sensory neurobiology, animal behavior and physiology, and in parallel inform the debate over appropriate levels of protection for invertebrate animals used in research.

 

Website(s):

Students interested in working in my lab should first visit the lab's webpage, and email me at rcrook@sfsu.edu for further information on space. Currently the lab is full and I have a wait list for both spring and summer of 2016, but places should be available in the Fall.

 

I accept undergraduates and Masters students only (no PhD students). Information about the different Biology Masters programs can be found here; students completing the Marine Biology or Physiology Master's programs may conduct research in my lab. Applications open in October and close in February for the following Fall semester. 

 

Undergraduate students may apply to conduct research in my lab by registering for Biol 699, by prior arrangment with me. Course credit is for one semester, but undergraduates should expect to spend at least two semesters in the lab (first semester as a volunteer). I give priority to Physiology majors in good academic standing, who have at least two semesters before graduation. Undergraduate students who do not fit this description may be admitted if there is space available. 

 

Typically undergraduate students are responsible for animal care, tank maintenance and general lab tasks. In their first semester they are paired with an experienced undergraduate or Masters student, and new students assist and contribute to established research projects. By the end of the first semester in the lab, each undergraduate can expect to take responsibility for their own experiment; this is typically one component of a larger research story.

 

Masters students are expected to contribute to animal care, tank maintenance and general lab tasks throughout their tenure in the lab. By the end of their first semester I expect Masters students to be ready to begin their independent research project. Masters projects should be original, relevant to the lab's research program, and be of sufficient scope to result in one or more primary research publications. Masters students are responsible for the conception, design and analysis of their project, and for the submission of a thesis describing their findings. Projects may be behavioral or neurophysiological, or a combination of both.

Environmental Physiology

 

Graduate-level seminar course examining current research into Environmental Physiology, broadly defined. In the Spring I will teach this class with an emphasis on the physiology of severe environmental stress. For each topic, we will consider the effect of that stressor on organismal physiology, and the physiological compensations and adaptations to that stressor.

 

Undergraduates may be admitted to the class if space is available. Interested students should email me at rcrook@sfsu.edu to request consideration.

 

Topics will include: 

  • Marine and terrestrial physiology of global warming
  • Physiological responses to oceanic and terrestrial pollution
  • Physiology of injury
  • Physiology of social stress
  • Physiology of emerging infectious diseases facilitated by environmental change
  • Other topics chosen by students

 

The Class Syllabus and Schedule will be posted here prior to the start of the Spring semester.

 

Fall 2015

Bio:

Michael Loebs received an M.A. in Political Science at San Francisco State University following undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley and City College of San Francisco. Loebs' classes primarily focus on the development, tensions, and contradictions of "Western" political thought from ancient Greece to the present, training students to look with a challenging and critical eye at concepts from across the ideological spectrum.

Specific fields of interest include the relation between political theory and practice; democratic and anti-democratic thought; morality in politics, especially the role of political violence; gender and queer theory; the mutual interplay of conservative, liberal, and socialist ideology; and possible avenues of reforming California politics. As part of pursuing these interests, Loebs has taught in the Political Science department at SF State since 2013 and has also served as chairperson of the California National Party since 2019.

Research Interests

Fourier analysis and harmonic analysis.
Fractal geometry.
Tiling theory.
Frame theory.

More specifically, I study the existence and structure of the exponential orthonormal bases, Fourier frames, Riesz basis, windowed exponentials on fractal measures. Because of its relation with applied harmonic analysis, I am also interested in classical sampling theory and Gabor analysis. And vice versa, I am also interested in applying harmonic analysis techniques to studying fractal geometry.

Bio:

Acclaimed baritone and music educator, Nikolas Nackley is a lecturer in voice and opera at the San Francisco State University School of Music. 

Nikolas has served as a full time and visiting lecturer at universities around the San Francisco Bay Area and Massachusets and is sought after as a master vocal and choral clinician and competition adjudicator.  In addition to his academic work at SF State, he is currently the Director of Vocal Studies at UC Berkeley.   At San Francisco State,  he conducts the University Chorus, teaches lyric diction and phonetics, opera workshop, vocal pedagogy, vocal practicum, and applied vocal instruction.   In the last few years he lead SF State’s Chamber Singers and University Chorus in the school’s first performance the “St. Matthew Passion” by Heinrich Schütz as well as Michael Haydn’s “Missa Tempore Quadragesimae”, Stravinsky’s “Mass”, Charpentier’s “Messe Pour Minuit de Noël”, Haydn’s “Part Songs”, and the Brahms “Zigeunerlieder" as well as Duruflé's "Requiem", Pinkham's "Christmas Cantata", and Schubert's "Mass in G Major" among others.  As a stage and music director of opera, he has directed, musically prepared and or conducted the university’s opera program in productions including Menotti's "Old Maid and the Thief" and "Amelia al ballo",  Mozart’s “La Finta Giardiniera”, Strauss’ “Fledermaus”, Handel’s “Alcina”, Cavalli’s “La Calisto” and “To Hell and Back in 400 Years”, a composite Orpheus pastiche-opera that he arranged and directed.

From 2016-2018 Professor Nackley conducted the UC Berkeley University Chorus in performances including Britten’s “Gloriana Choral Dances”, Purcell’s “Come, Ye Sons of Art”,  Charpentier’s “Messe de Morts”, De Lalande’s “De Profundis Clamavit”, the Berlioz “Apotheose" from the "Symphonie Funebre et Triomphale”,  Fauré’s “Requiem”, the Vivaldi “Gloria”, Pärt’s “Two Slavic Psalms” and Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” in collaboration with ensembles including the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, Contra Costa Wind Symphony, and the Jubilate Orchestra. In addition, he led a joint concert of songs of protest, resistance, and praise from around the world performed with the University Gospel Chorus.

As a solo vocal artist, Nikolas is in demand for his work on both the concert and operatic stage in California, the East Coast, and abroad.  He has been heralded by the San Francisco Chronicle as “sonorous and heroic” and praised by the Boston Globe for his ability to “continually impress with his beautiful voice and acting.”  Recently featured in the title role of West Edge Opera’s critically acclaimed “Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria”, his other recent credits include the role of Captain Bouchardon in the West Coast premier of Matt Mark's opera, “Mata Hari”,  Joe Pitt in the West Coast premier of Peter Eötvös’s “Angels in America” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Adonis in Blow’s “Venus and Adonis” with Marin Baroque, Mozart "Requiem", Brahms "Requiem", Bach’s St. John Passion, Cantata BWV 140 and Handel’s “Ode for the Birth of Queen Anne” with the SF Bach Choir,  Figaro in Paisiello’s “Barber of Seville” with WEO’s Opera Medium Rare, Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio”, "B Minor Mass" and Haydn's "The Seasons" with Marin Oratorio, the West Coast premier of Kaija Saariaho’s “The Tempest Songbook” with Cal Performances and a recital series in the Northumberland region of England.

He has worked as a featured soloist under such conductors as Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Roger Norrington, Joana Carneiro, Bruno Weil, Craig Smith, Harry Christophers, John Harbison, and Pablo Heras Casado.

Other recent engagements include the world premier of Stacy Garrop’s “Terra Nostra” with the SF Choral Society, Bach’s “St John Passion”, “Carmina Burana”  and Mozart’s “Requiem”with the Bay Choral Guild, the role of Pallante in Handel’s “Agrippina” and the Badger/Parson in Janacek’s “The Cunning Little Vixen”  with West Edge Opera,  the West Coast premiere of Jocelyn Hagen’s “Ashes of Roses” with Symphony Silicone Valley,  Haydn’s “Paulkenmesse” and the Duruflé “Requiem” with the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers.

I am a communication scientist with training at the intersection of linguistics, sociology, and communication studies. My research seeks to understand communication about health and illness through investigating language as a discursive social process. Overall, my work shows how communication can encourage culturally sensitive care, to facilitate holistic well-being, and to foster thoughtful reflection about the roles of health and illness in society.

Bio:

I've taught Composition Studies here at SF State for the last 12 years and have taught college writing for 20 (!). I'm excited to share the interdisciplinary nature of this field with you; to hear your experiences about learning and writing; and to build an engaged community around social justice-oriented learning. I teach undergraduate writing courses, as well as graduate courses in composition, literacy studies, and pedagogy. 

My scholarship focuses on writing/learning transfer, hybrid forms of the essay which promote writers’ rhetorical and stylistic awareness, pedagogies for graduate-level writing instruction, and open-access publishing. As a researcher, I am most proud of my work co-founding and serving as Senior Editor of the journal Literacy in Composition Studies. I have co-authored/co-edited two books: Informed Choices: A Guide for Teachers of College Writing and Literacy and Pedagogy in an Age of Misinformation and Disinformation. My work has also appeared in College English, Enculturation, and several edited collections.

Please consult your course syllabus or contact the instructor directly for office hours.
