Designation

From October 2009- till October 2012, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Visiting Fellow) at Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE).

Activities at HBCSE

During my stay I have attended a few teacher training workshops, math-lab activity sessions and workshops to initiate teachers in the software, Geogebra. I have also been involved in teaching activities in HBCSE.

Areas of Interest:

Teaching algebra and studying how students learn algebra interests me. I am interested in studying the strategies students use to solve problems.  I am interested in developing an efficient and effective way to use Geogebra for teaching mathematics at high school and college level.

Graduate Courses taken:
