Research

My research focuses on improving students’ physics motivational beliefs and academic performance by enhancing the inclusiveness of the learning environment. I also investigate students’ sense-making processes in upper-division physics courses, such as quantum mechanics. Additionally, I explore the role of mathematics in physics learning and develop tools to support students with diverse preparation levels.

I am currently recruiting graduate students to join our research team. If you are interested, please contact me for more information.
