Research

For the 2010-2011 academic year, I am shifting my focus on research away from the technical, mathematical work I performed as a PhD student and pursuing projects related to engineering education for my first year as a postdoctoral researcher. It is my hope that I can justify and sustain a program in education to both supplement existing curricula and resources for an engineering department and to improve upon pedagogical practices.

My long term goal is for my research to be largely related to learning inside and outside the classroom. I anticipate that this work will involve a lot of first-hand teaching, reading and writing in areas often outside engineering itself, and outreach with other schools to gather data and be useful contributors to the community at large.
