I am an experienced, energetic, and committed teacher with a track record of excellence in the classroom, as well as in mentoring students at undergraduate and graduate levels. My broad background affords me ability to offer a wide range of courses; I have previously taught both undergraduate- and graduate-level core courses in statistics including the graduate ANOVA course, sensation and perception, cognitive psychology/science, and cognitive development. I have also developed and taught a number of innovative seminars on topics such as neural computation (U/G), circular statistics (G), and dynamic systems (G), the psychology of space and time (U/G), and timing and development (G).

Mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students and building an active lab group have been a premier focus of my time at BGSU. Over this period, I have observed a steady increase in the number and quality of students in my lab. I have mentored 6 Master's and 1 Ph.D. student and am currently supervising 4 graduate students (1 Master's and 3 Ph.D.). All students actively contribute to presentations and publications and acquire experience mentoring undergraduate student research. Moreover, during any given semester between 5 and 10 undergraduates assist with research in the lab to varying degrees depending on interest and commitment. Undergraduates often go on to complete independent research projects and/or university honor's theses, as well as to present their work at regional, national, and even international conferences. Several have been recipients of competitive awards and undergraduate research scholarships.
