Professor Robert G. Fuller was the leader of the Research in Physics Education Group (RPEG) in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNL from 1989 to 2005. During that time, four PhDs were awarded in PER to Weijia Zhang (1996), Brian Adrian (1997), Rebecca Lindell (2001), and Thomas Thaden Koch (2003). Dr. Fuller became a full time emeritus professor in the spring of 2005, ending the PhD program in physics education research at UNL.

Professor Fuller was an active member of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and served as a national AAPT president in 1980. He was awarded the Outstanding Teaching and Instructional Creativity Award by the University of Nebraska in 1993. He was invited to give numerous oral presentations. A selection of those are now available here. They are indicated by a * by his name.
