Expertise: My research is broadly aimed at investigating how students build mental models of chemical phenomena. I am interested in gaining understanding about the roles a student's tacit understanding, conceptual organization, and epistemology of science (what science is, how scientific knowledge is generated and used) play in the construction of their models. My ultimate goal is to develop classroom and laboratory activities that help students build more coherent, useful models of chemical ideas.
