I am currently the Director of the Synergy Communities: Aggregating Learning about Education (SCALE) project, a NSF-funded effort based on the University of California at Berkeley that studies the related processes of designing innovative, technology-rich science curricula and adapting innovative curricula to meet local needs and constraints. Prior to working on the SCALE project, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Center for Innovative Learning Technologies (CILT). At CILT, my interests centered on the uses of visualization and modeling technologies to support learning, as well as the study and practice of synergistic collaboration within the learning technologies field -- work that directly informed the SCALE proposal.
I received my Ph. D. in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University, where my dissertation research focused on creating learning environments, set in engineering design contexts, to support student engagement in scientific inquiry. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a senior programmer at the Interactive Media Lab at Dartmouth Medical School, contributing to the design and development of educational software for undergraduate, medical student, and patient education.
