My research interests are multi-faceted.  In the lab, I use chemical crosslinkers to study protein structure and function, specifically with the protein malate dehydrogenase.  More recently, I have focused on science education research with two projects.  First, I have been looking at how students use artificial intelligence in their science classes.  Second, I have been analyzing how students’ perceptions of chemistry change throughout the semester.
