My field of focus is Physics Education Research. I am a physicist who creates and studies conditions which promote students' interest and ability in physics, education and the intersection of these domains. I am deeply committed to blending research, teaching, and community partnership. However, for the sake of this web-page, I'll create some (artificial) boundaries.
