Scholarly Interests and Activities
I study how to make teaching and learning measurably better by pairing multiyear classroom experiments with rapid A/B tests. On the scale of years, I run randomized controlled trials that translate cognitive‑psychology findings—spaced repetition, retrieval practice, interleaving—into real courses and quantify their effects on learning. On the scale of quarters or shorter, I iterate on course components, using embedded learning‑analytics to spot incremental improvements. The goal is to turn every class into a laboratory for demonstrably effective practice.
