I am a second year doctoral student in the SESAME math/science education program, an interdisciplinary program that might be described as the application of cognitive psychology to the phenomenon of learning in math and science domains. My research interests are currently split between: (1) how powerful (and often difficult) calculus ideas embody or are grounded in sensory-motor perception, and the implications this has for the design of interactive, computer-based learning tools; and (2) how complexity studies and, in particular, agent-based modeling can provide tools for mathematical and scientific reasoning that are more accessible to a wider range of students than mathematical models that require extensive mathematics backgrounds.
