TEACHING INTERESTS

INTRODUCTION

I began my full-time teaching career at CSLA in 1997. Prior to that I worked as a geotechnical consultant in the Los Angeles area for such companies as Woodward-Clyde, Law/Crandall, and Leroy Crandall & Associates. I have maintained a consulting role but now focus primarily in conducting advanced laboratory testing (Triaxial, Direct Simple Shear, Resonant Column, Torsion Shear, Ring Shear). Our geotechnical laboratory is fully equipped to handle a wide variety of testing conditions. I also maintain an array of in-situ penetrometers (cone, ball, vane).

I've been at Cal State LA since 2007. My BA is from Vassar College (1995), and my PhD is from Stony Brook University (2003). I specialize in Phenomenology and Husserl Scholarship, with research interests in Modern Philosophy and Philosophy of Mind. I regularly teach PHIL 1510 Thought and Reality, PHIL 1520 Human Values, PHIL 4450 Existentialism, and PHIL 4460 Phenomenology; as well as related graduate-level courses. I am also the faculty advisor to Philosophy in Practice, our department's student-run journal. 

Marina Mondin is Full Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at California State University, Los Angeles. Her current interests are in the area of signal and image processing for communications and physics, simulation of communication systems, quantum communication and modulation and coding.  She holds five patents.
