Rob is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Southern Methodist University’s Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education & Human Development. Prior to pursuing his Ph.D. in Mathematics and Science Education at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College, Rob taught high school chemistry for four years at a performing arts high school in New York City as a member of the New York City Teaching Fellows. Rob’s research and teaching focuses on the intersection of science and engineering by investigating how design-based learning environments engage students in approximations of the epistemic practices of scientists and engineers. At Southern Methodist University, Rob supervises first-year teachers and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; differentiated instruction in secondary science; and designing and making. In addition, Rob is the Co-Director of SMU’s Maker Education Project.
