I'm an associate professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Arizona.
I head the CAMEL (Cognition And Memory in Education & Learning) Lab. We investigate how learning environments can prompt learners to capitalize on the innate strengths of memory, minimize the impact of the intrinsic weaknesses of memory, and decrease the efforts learners expend. Using basic research, math models, and applied research, we hope to further our understanding of fundamental cognitive processes so that we can more effectively structure learning environments to match the characteristics and quirks of cognition.
