Research

My research focuses on acoustics and how ultrasound interacts with various materials as a function of structure. In particular, I study soft tissue with an eye towards medical applications such as echocardiography.

I am also interested in physics pedagogy and how students learn concepts and skills, particularly in laboratory classes
