Research Expertise:
Computer Science Education | Broadening Participation in Computing
I am developing pedagogical approaches to making computer science higher education more inclusive, with particular attention to increasing the participation of women and other students from historically marginalized groups in computer science.
Teaching Narrative:
My current teaching focus is in theory of computing (multiple courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels) and programming languages. In my years at Rowan, I have taught fifteen different courses and have been active in curriculum development at the department and university levels.
