Research Interests & Activities:
Mathematically I am most interested in (1) connecting sustainability topics in introductory courses and (2) numerical linear algebra related to image restoration. Educationally I am interested in creating and testing techniques to be able to engage all students. Some techniques I've used are TILT (Transparency in Learning and Teaching), backward course design with Dee Fink style learning goals, and flipped and hybrid courses. I've also co-created a calculus support course and a calculus fall-back course.
Curriculum Vitae
PRIMUS: Biology Applications in the Mathematics Curriculum
