About
RESEARCH INTERESTS
I try to find ways of describing and measuring teaching quality across many classrooms, especially in mathematics.
I have a special interest in meta-science, where I conduct research on how citations distort findings and give unfounded authority to claims made in educational research.
I also like programming tools for research, e.g., https://hocolim.codeberg.page/gptworkr/docs/
