I was drawn to the common goals of physics and sociology to explain and predict phenomena, which led me to pursue my graduate studies in physics education research. I earned my Ph.D. in Physics from Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS) in 2010 with N. Sanjay Rebello. I have been in a variety of positions at University of Central Florida (UCF, Orlando, FL) ever since! I am excited to start a tenure track position as an assistant professor at UCF in Fall 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interests:<\/strong> I love to be out in the Florida sun, whether running, paddleboarding or reading on the beach. I enjoy vegetarian cooking, vegan baking, coffee and craft beers and cocktails. I balance out my overexposure to college STEM majors by teaching preschoolers at my church.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/chiniperg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Sandhill-Crane-Puppet.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-49 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/chiniperg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Sandhill-Crane-Puppet-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"A sandhill crane puppet at the Central Florida Veg Fest.\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/chiniperg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Sandhill-Crane-Puppet-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/chiniperg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Sandhill-Crane-Puppet-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/chiniperg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Sandhill-Crane-Puppet.jpg 960w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/170;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sandhill crane puppet at the Central Florida Veg Fest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me: I earned my B.A. in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Sociology from Drew University (Madison, NJ) in 2006.
