Andrew Vanden Heuvel (born August 6, 1982) is an American astronomer and science educator. He is the co-discoverer of several celestial bodies including asteroids 128177 Griffioen[3] and 210425 Imogene[4] as well as extra-solar planet HD 102195b.[5]
In 2013, Vanden Heuvel was selected as one of the first Google Glass Explorers.[6] He traveled to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN where he taught a live, first-person physics lesson from inside the particle accelerator. [7][8]
Background[edit]
Andrew Vanden Heuvel holds a B.S. in Physics from Calvin College[9] and an M.S. in Astronomy from the University of Florida.[10]
He is currently a professor at Calvin College, where he teaches physics and astronomy.[11] Vanden Heuvel is known for his work with educational technology, particularly his use of Google Glass to teach science[12] and his YouTube Channel STEMbite.[13]
Astronomical discoveries[edit]
Andrew Vanden Heuvel is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of asteroid 128177 Griffioen[3]. This discovery was made on September 5, 2003 and the asteroid was later named in honor of Roger Griffioen, a long-time dean and department chair at Calvin University.[14]
While in graduate school at the University of Florida, Vanden Heuvel was part of the research team that discovered exoplanet, HD 102195b.[5]
As a physics teacher at The Prairie School in Racine, WI, Vanden Heuvel discovered four more asteroids while working on a class project with his students:[15] 210425 Imogene,[4] 212925,[16] 504423,[17] and 597965.[18]
