Science Department Chair
Science Teacher
Dr. Paul Feffer earned his doctorate in physics at UC Berkeley studying x-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the Sun, Galactic Center, and other astronomical objects using data collected with balloon-borne instrumentation flown over Antarctica, as well as data from satellite instruments. After completing his graduate degree, he worked in the technology and finance industries for over a decade before deciding to return to academia in 2013 when he came to Storm King to teach physics and computer science and coach varsity tennis. Paul also advises the robotics team, supports participation in science competitions, and organizes occasional weekend activities such as camping, skiing, and observational astronomy. As chair of the Science Department, Paul helps provide resources and support for the science faculty, and outside of school, leads professional development workshops in physics and computer science in the New York City region.
