Teaching
Psychology has evolved to a point where the field is perched upon a nexus of several different disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science. During my academic career I have been immersed in this evolution and have contributed to it, both in the research literature and the classroom. In my courses, I try to draw from this academic diversity to position students to be prepared for a workplace that requires an ever-increasing array of skills. In the classroom, it is my objective to teach you not just about where the field has been, but for us to explore where the field is going.
