Jeremy Bradford, Ph.D.

Program Manager

Dr. Bradford is the Program Manager for REVU. Since completing his Ph.D. in astronomy, he has worked in the Yale Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning as the Assistant STEM Education Program director and is currently the Director of Operations for the Warrior-Scholar Project . He is interested in creating, implementing, and improving curricula using both modern teaching methods and real-world applications, particularly in support of nontraditional and underrepresented students.

"I am forever grateful for a program like REVU. If I never would have applied or been accepted, I probably would not be considering a Ph.D. program right now. It was a great experience to show myself that I can be a contributing member in a real lab environment. A huge problem that veterans face in academia is imposter syndrome and feeling like they don't belong. The REVU program gives us a real chance of proving to ourselves that we can succeed."
