Course development

Professor Clark is instrumental in the development of the course ``The World of Energy'' Physics 103/104. This course is a hands-on, discovery mode approach to physics designed for non-science majors. She has also developed several graduate courses in relativistic nuclear physics.

Research Publications, Presentations and External Funding

Professor Clark has published over 90 scholarly articles, presented in excess of 150 talks on her work and served on numerous organizing and advisory committees for conferences. She has edited one book, Relativistic Nuclear-Many Body Physics, Ed. by B.C. Clark, R.J. Perry and J.P. Vary, World Scientific Press (1989). Professor Clark's research has been continuously funded by the National Science Foundation since she joined the faculty in 1981. Professor Clark has also received support for her research from the I. B. M. Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
