Research Focus
Mathematics and Curriculum
My research direction is best described succinctly by this question: What might math be like, if you could discuss math with family and friends as you would a favourite book or a good movie? My research and teaching involves seeing mathematics through an Arts lens and using technology to bring mathematics to the wider world.
