Science Communication & Outreach
Being a mathematical physicist, I have studied the fundamental structure of our universe. In my work as a science educator, I now unravel how students wrap their minds around curved space and warped time. As much as I love working with these theoretical concepts, there is one thing I enjoy even more: Sharing my knowledge!
While there are many talented science communicators with a sound background in physics and math, there are few that have the same broad perspective that I gain by pursuing a PhD in Physics Education. Facing the challenge of communicating abstract scientific ideas to others, I can draw from my own research on teaching and learning. It is delightful to help other people make sense of the world around us and to make our society a little smarter along the way!
