My primary duty is to manage the introductory physics lab sequence for the 2-series (alegebra-based physics) and the 40-series (calculus-based physics for engineers) in the Physics Department at UCR. I am working with colleagues to gradually develop a more pedagogically sound curriculum and a culture of education that will provide students with the optimal.

M.Ed. Thesis Project: Developed a descriptive framework that enables articulation of the issue of underrepresentation and disenfranchisement of diverse student populations in physics higher education. The framework underscores the relation between student learning in physics higher education and the cultural context that informs the learning environment.

Riverside, CA

Worked as a consultant in UCR's Graduate Writing Center. Students would reserve hour-long appointments to meet with me and consult on any piece of writing they were developing. I consulted with students on dissertations, class papers, fellowship applications, faculty applications, and manuscripts being prepared for publication. I also ran a workshop to.

The first project I worked on involved computerized optical character recognition of imperfect characters in Java. In particular, I helped develop a decision tree that made it possible to classify different characters in different fonts correctly based on particular features of the scanned character.I also worked on developing a user interface for a mobile.

Aided in the development, motivation, and performance of the soccer team, which ended up finishing fourth in Washington state division 3A.

Appleton, WI

I studied diagnostic techniques for toroidally-confined, low-density, pure-electron plasma under Professor Matt Stoneking. I presented the work I accomplished this summer at the 59th AVS Symposium & Exhibition via a poster.
