My research interests include choice and decision making, especially relating to first-year engineering students’ selection of and persistence in engineering majors. I am also interested in using large datasets, like MIDFIELD, to investigate enrollment patterns in engineering. My prior research in chemical engineering focused on the sustainable production of molecular hydrogen using protein-protein fusions.
