Research summary
AI-generated

This record appears to combine multiple distinct research areas under one name, including science education (e.g., how students learn and reason about physics and STEM concepts), as well as unrelated topics such as geology/tectonics, robotics, and power-grid engineering. The clearest thread relevant to Social Sciences is work on science and physics education, including how students develop reasoning skills, epistemic understanding, and conceptual learning, along with studies on teacher training and instructional methods. Because the publication list spans such varied fields and venues, it is possible this profile merges records from more than one researcher with the same name.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with lower counts around 2018-2022 (4-5 papers/year) and a recent increase to 7-10 papers/year in 2023-2025.
