Currently, he is a PhD candidate at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth studying Mathematics Education, ABD. His prior research has been examining curriculum learning progressions and teaching interventions in early algebra from elementary to middle grades (3-8), adapting a Mathematical Quality of Instruction (MQI) tool to incorporate CCSSM Standards, and examining interconnections between mathematical resources utilized by practitioners under a Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) theoretical framework. Currently, his research focus is on unpacking mathematics teachers' emotional labor through their emotionality as a proxy for unearthing the political nature of education.
