Current research projects include:

• Confirmation Bias in Science:  Investigation of student reasoning in physics courses

• Student difficulties measuring distance in terms of wavelength:  lack of basic skills or failure to transfer

• Assessing the flexibility of research-based instructional strategies: Implementing Tutorials in Introductory Physics in the lecture environment
  

• Interpreting multi-variable expressions in Physics:  Patterns in student reasoning

• Spatial reasoning: a potential roadblock to conceptual understanding of Physics?

• Interdisciplinary collaborative project:  Using assessments to investigate and compare the nature of learning in undergraduate science courses
