Areas of Research
Broadly, physics education research is about how people learn physics and how we can teach it better. My research focusses on the classroom impact of instructional choices, including understanding how to improve learning and experience for all students, especially those who are historically or currently underrepresented in physics and science. My previous work includes exams that support student learning and teaching professional development for new instructors.

Working with this supervisor
Seeking students with a keen interest in physics and/or science education and in equity, diversity, and inclusion. Current openings are as part of a national, multi-institution group dedicated to measuring and improving equity for students in science courses in Canada. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand the inequities that exist in both learning and affective factors—like sense of belonging—and discover how we can improve the science classroom for all students.
