Jatila van der Veen
Project Scientist, ITST and Department of Physics
Lecturer, College of Creative Studies
Education Project Manager for the Planck Mission
Research Interests
* Visualization, sonification, and arts-based practice in physics education
* Learning in Virtual Reality – increasing comprehension by interacting with data
* The role of discourse and narrative in physics education
* Folk dance as culturally-situated mathematics (not really physics, but FUN!)
