Teaching
My primary teaching areas and interests are in physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry, applied math for chemists, and general chemistry.
I am also interested in science education in general, data-driven teaching practices, effective use of technology in the classroom, the flipped/blended class format, and gifted education.
