My first assigned research project in grad school will be a meta-analysis of existing literature on feedback provided during learning.

My own research projects include:

• Mitigating Cognitive Load on Mobile Devices - My 1st publication is a write-up of my research on how to mitigate cognitive load when doing a bar graph-reading task on small screens like those found on an iPhone. I will be presenting it at the Human Factors & Ergonomics conference in October. You can read a blurb about it on the LACE lab website.
• Psychometrics - I am collaborating with another grad student to look at web-based measures to see if people respond differently on the Internet.
• Instructional Medium - I am studying whether the medium through which students receive educational content impacts learning.

I hope to fund my research with a fellowship from the National Science Foundation. For other grad students out there, check out the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
