Professor Carey Woodward joined the UW-Fond du Lac faculty in the fall of 2006. In addition to regular teaching, committees and academic advising, he teaches various continuing education courses and advises the "Forte Falcons," a student a cappella group.

In collaboration with the space physics group at UW-Madison,  he has done computer-based research on the interpretation of geocoronal Balmer-alpha emission and its implication for monitoring global climate change.

His previous college teaching experiences include full-time positions at UW-Fox Valley and Edgewood College, and part-time/summer classes at MATC, UW-Madison, UW-Marathon County, UW-Washington County and UW-Waukesha County.

Professor Woodward has also taught at  the Ulysses S. Grant Foundation at Yale University (a summer high school program for gifted & talented inner city high school students) and the Physics Learning Program at UW-Madison (a tutorial program for at-risk students in introductory physics).

He has conducted astronomical research full-time for several years, primarily studying Jupiter's moon Io and the Io plasma torus. He has published a number of papers, including one in Science, and has spent many long nights at the telescopes of Kitt Peak, Arizona. His personal interests include Morris dancing, homebrewing, geocaching, singing and running.
