My research goals are to explore how computer science learning can support physics and astronomy learning. My CV has a list of all public talks, publications, and conference proceedings.
Computational Thinking
One way to study how learning in physics and astronomy is impacted by computing is to use a computational thinking framework. You can read my current thinking on what that means here.
