Kim Zoldak

I joined the Physics department as a visiting assistant professor in August of 2020. In September of 2022, I became a teaching assistant professor with the department. I teach all of the introductory astronomy courses, astrophysics, and any physics course that is needed of me at the time. I have recently taken over responsibilities for OSU's Mendenhall Observatory, which is located on the far west side of Stillwater. I was promoted to teaching associate professor in June 2026.
