Understanding factors related to student retention and experience in physics and astrophysics major units.

Using quantitative (surveys) and qualitative data (interviews with students) this project aims to explore who takes physics and astrophysics major units, why they pursue them, and what obstacles they may face. There are a number of research questions under this umbrella.

  • Computational practices in professional physics and students' engagement in these practices
  • The role of agency in students learning physics practice
  • A mixed-method, longitudinal study on factors related to retention in the physics major
  • Periodically driven many-body systems
