Expert Faculty & Staff
Inquisitive. Engaged. Passionate. These words describe not only our students, but our award-winning faculty as well. Our educators work, research and innovate - on our campus and around the world.
We're proud to say that our faculty includes several Fulbright Scholars, a Nobel Institute Fellow, national and international award winners, presidents of national organizations and many University-wide leaders, including the former chair of the UC Faculty Senate.
The majority of our faculty hold the terminal degree in their field (PhD, EdD, etc.) and are dedicated to sharing their knowledge with you. The majority of our classes are taught by full-time, tenure-track faculty.
We are nationally recognized experts in the practice of teaching.
Faculty Profiles
Leading Innovation
Daniella Fisher (Chemistry) is a UC Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Member Award winner, and the creator of an innovative partnership between UC Blue Ash and Sycamore Community Schools. She helped lead the development of the program where UCBA students work with elementary school students to explore scientific discovery.
Reach For the Stars
Physics professor Cenalo Vaz conducts research in the field of gravitational collapse and black hole radiation. He has presented his research at international conferences in India, Japan, Germany, and the U.S. Dr. Vaz has also written three full-length texts on Electrodynamics, Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics for the graduate level.
For the Love of Learning
Biology professor Amy Gultice enjoys learning as much as she loves teaching. Her research focuses on identifying factors for student success in her classroom and beyond, and she's teamed with other professors to develop effective, engaging activities to teach complex scientific concepts.
"Watching students become scholars is the most fulfilling part of my job. In my courses, students can see early on how what we are studying in the classroom applies to real-life situations, and this inspires them to learn."
Dr. Gultice also helps set the direction of the college by serving on UC Blue Ash committees that have developed new programs to support student success.
Bring The Past To Life
Dr. Timothy S. Forest is currently an associate professor in Modern European History at the University of Cincinnati – Blue Ash.
As a Fulbright Scholar and History professor, he spent nine months living in France conducting research in French archives that will be the basis for a new book on immigration studies and new courses in the college's European History program.
Award-Winning
Eric Anderson (Electronic Media) has won numerous accolades for his own work, including three regional Emmy Awards, four Telly Awards, and recognition as Ohio's Best Videographer four years in a row by the Ohio Associated Press.
Despite those recognitions, Eric believes that passing on his knowledge to others will always be his greatest achievement.
Helping Achieve Dreams
Helene Harte (Pre-Education) has a passion for helping future educators achieve their dreams. She advises the Association of Student Educators on campus and presents research on relevant topics in education on a national level.
She also has joined a group of educators to develop the Respecting Haiti curriculum, a cross-cultural training program to raise awareness of child slavery in Haiti.
Research. Discussion. Personal Discovery.
Behavioral Science professor Todd Callais is an avid researcher in the areas of criminology and media, and brought his passion to life on campus last year through the development of the Police+Race+Trust speakers series.
This unique series brought nationally recognized experts to UC Blue Ash for frank discussions about the role of police and race in our society and their depiction in the media.
"The speaker series allowed my students to gain new perspectives on a topic that is near and dear to me."
More than anything, though, Dr. Callais loves helping students identify and research topics that they are passionate about.
"I quite enjoy guiding students through independent research projects. I have had a student win a prize in the student paper competition at the North Central Sociological Association for the last two years now."
