Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's recent work focuses on computer science education, particularly how to give computing students practical industry experience through internships, micro-internships, and workshops, as well as curriculum design questions like math requirements for CS degrees. The work is oriented toward improving how undergraduates are taught and prepared for careers in computing, including efforts to broaden participation of women and non-binary students. Note that a few listed publications (e.g., on managed care, firefighter mental health, and German tax law) appear unrelated to this core focus and may reflect a shared name with other authors rather than this researcher's own work.
