Bio
My research group comprises a robust and diverse group of students from various majors both within and outside the college of science at RIT. My group is largely populated by undergraduate students with only one MS student at any given time. My research focuses largely in the area of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) in the areas of organic chemistry, and lab pedagogies. One major project in our group is the Sign Language Incorporation in Chemistry Education (SLICE). Visit www.cgcresearch.com to learn more about what we do in my research group.

RIT scientists receive grant to expand work on a sign language lexicon for chemistry
A team of scientists at RIT will expand its work after receiving a large grant from the National Science Foundation to make chemistry more accessible for students who rely on American Sign Language interpreters in class. The team has been awarded nearly $380,000 for its proposal to transform chemistry for deaf and hard-of-hearing students via the design, implementation, and evaluation of a descriptive sign language lexicon.
