Research statement
I am very interested in the ways in which authentic research experiences can be incorporated in undergraduate laboratory courses. My research interests relate to strategies for providing opportunities for a large number of students that are still interesting and engaging and allow students to truly experience the scientific process by asking their own questions and discovering new information. I am also interested in the ways in which technology can be incorporated in the classroom, from classroom response systems (clickers) to student-created video podcasts designed to present recent scientific literature.
