Expertise

Research Areas: Physics and Engineering Education Research

I study a broad array of topics in Physics and Engineering Education Research. This includes studying authentic problem-solving in STEM, student experience and performance in introductory STEM courses, and diversity and inclusion in physics. Current projects include:

  1. Studying the interplay between teaching problem-solving and equitable outcomes in physics
  2. Developing assessments of problem-solving at the graduate and undergraduate levels
  3. Studying in-situ cooperative group learning
  4. Re-thinking the introductory physics curriculum.
