in physics with a specialty in education research from the University
of Maryland while investigating how students make sense of the
physics of mechanical waves. During his time in Maryland, he
won multiple teaching awards. After graduating, he stayed at
the University of Maryland as a post doc, guiding the work of
the physics education research group while Joe Redish was on
sabbatical. His activities include research into student reasoning
