Curriculum Vitae (pdf file)

Biosketch

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation at College Park. I received my M.S. in Educational Psychology from Iowa State University in 1997 and my Ph.D. in Educational Measurement and Statistics in 2002 from the University of Iowa. I am very excited to have joined the EDMS faculty and look forward to contributing to the department.

I currently teach an applied statistics course (EDMS 646 – Quantitative Research Methods II) and will teach an advanced measurement course in the spring (EDMS 769A). My research interests include test equating and scaling, polytomous item response theory, and computerized adaptive testing and my dissertation concerned scaling of two-stage adaptive test configurations for achievement testing.
