Research summary
AI-generated

Jason Morphew studies how students learn physics, engineering, and STEM concepts, with particular attention to conceptual misunderstandings, visual and embodied ways of thinking (like gestures and augmented reality models), and how new tools such as microcontrollers and AI-based adaptive testing can improve engineering education. His work combines cognitive science methods, such as diagnostic testing models, with practical curriculum design for first-year and sophomore engineering courses. Prospective students would likely engage in both learning-science research (concept inventories, metacognition, embodied cognition) and applied educational technology projects (adaptive learning systems, microelectronics curricula).
