This camp has been designed and will be run by Adam Dipert with some assistance from other instructors.

Adam Dipert is a professional circus artist, and experimental particle and nuclear physics doctoral candidate.  He has taught Trigonometry and Algebra at both the college and grade school levels, as well as classical mechanics and electromagnetism.  He has worked at and run a plethora of summer camps for students between the ages of 7 to 18.

He received his B.S. in physics from the Ohio State University in 2010 and is working on his Ph. D. at Arizona State University.  As an undergraduate, he was given the opportunity to act as a TA for the last 2 years of his degree with his Multivariable Calculus teacher in Trigonometry and PreCalculus courses.  He taught 7th grade Algebra for a short time at BASIS Charter School in Tucson Arizona after completing his B.S. but decided to return to the universities shortly after to pursue research.  Currently he is studying the depolarization of ³He at 0.3 Kelvin on the Duke University campus at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory.  His advisor is Ricardo Alarcon (ASU).  He’s research is being directed by Robert Golub (NCSU), a world leading expert experimentalist in Utracold Neutrons and many other aspects of cryogenics.

He completed high school in 2001 and spent 4 years traveling with Renaissance Festivals, music festivals, county fairs, and was integrated in the circus before his travels ended and he began his studies at Ohio State.  Adam worked with Open Air Circus in Somerville MA between 2004-2009 and made significant contributions to the offerings in the program including starting a master class series for older students.  The Open Air Circus is a community youth circus focused on students between the ages of 4 to 18.  During this time he started working with Grimaldi Circus and Kristina Isabelle Dance Company.  Since beginning graduate school, the quality of his circus work has improved significantly and now performs at private, city, and corporate events.  He is proficient and frequently performs with Flower Sticks, Contact Juggling, Poi, Ropedart, Ball and Club Juggling, Double Staffs, Diabolo, Stilts, Rolling Globe, and Partner Acrobatics.
