Scientific research is a way to learn more about the world we live in. There are so many fascinating things going on in our universe, and working to discover new ideas, new phenomena, new methods, is a rather interesting and engaging activity. Not only that, but challenging yourself to reach the limits of your understanding is something that I find to be quite intellectually stimulating. Additionally, once you learn something new, it's only natural to want to share that knowledge with others -- and as such, it's important to know what methods are effective for transmitting your knowledge to all sorts of different audiences.
Over the course of my academic career, I have worked on physics research and astronomy research, and now I'm entering a new phase of my life in which I will work on physics education research. You can learn more about my past and current research in the following pages:
