I'm working on a joint Masters in Mathematics and Mathematics Education, with the additional focus of harnessing the power of games for learning math. I have three specific research interests: virtual worlds that are designed as supplemental to classroom content, and what types of mathematics learning are intended and actually instantiated within those dynamic environments; commercially produced virtual worlds that may have mathematics content and learning quietly embedded in the game structure, and the types of learning that occur as a result; and the general constraints and affordances that games may have for different populations as they enter and participate within the designed "worlds".
