About Me:

I am a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics, Unversity of Maryland, College Park in the Physics Education Research Group. I am also a Keystone Instructor in the A. J. C. School of Engineering at the University of Maryland.

 

From a scientific perspective, I am interested in gaining a better understanding of how the human mind operates and learns. From a social perspective I want to use this understanding to promote a more equitable education system and an overall scientific and rational way of thinking in society - awareness and education being the slow but steady path towards greater social justice without instability.

 

Interesting tidbit: I have an entry on the Internet Movie Database!  Visit my IMDB page Unfortunately I cannot upload a picture: that costs money.
