His teaching responsibilities ranged from introductory physics and astronomy to quantum physics, classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, astrophysics, and senior level quantum mechanics. He developed many online Web assignments and course presentations, including General Astronomy, General Astronomy Laboratory, Observational Astronomy, Stellar Astrophysics, Galactic Astrophysics, Comparative Planetology, and Climate Change.
Dr. Crowe obtained his BSc and MSc in Astronomy from the University of Western Ontario in 1977 and his PhD from the University of Toronto in 1984. Dr. Crowe had an extensive background in observatory support work. From 1977-1979, he was the Resident Observer for the University of Toronto 24-inch Southern Observatory at Las Campanas, Chile.

Dr. Crowe's research interests were in the areas of pulsating stars, stellar evolution and spectroscopy, with some 47 scientific publications in those fields. He also published nine scholarly articles and 18 Hawai‘i newspaper articles in the area of science education and criticism of pseudoscience.
