I am currently an Assistant Professor of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. My research investigates how technology-based STEM curricula featuring dynamic visualizations can transform the way learners understand complex phenomena, increase access to STEM fields and help diverse learners develop rich understanding and learning skills. My work focuses on instructional support, self-monitoring guidance, and design patterns and principles to help students learn most effectively from technology-enhanced curricula.
