My main area of interest within cognitive science is educational psychology/learning sciences; my current research focuses on how students’ reasoning and emotions influence learning outcomes in particular instructional paradigms.

My other work focuses on methods for the improvement and implementation of professional development for teachers, including designing high-level frameworks for implementation and measurement of professional development outcomes.
