For more than two decades, her work and publications have focused on motion sickness and visually-induced self-motion perception especially as it applies to virtual environments. She has co-written and worked on projects funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education. Her work and opinions about topics such as motion sickness, cyber-sickness, and effects of 3D films and device displays have been covered by numerous media outlets such as the New York Times, Fox Business News (television), Inside Edition (television), NBC (radio), and the Science Channel (television).
“I take a hands-on approach to teaching and learning. Students learn about statistics and psychology by analyzing data and conducting research themselves. Understanding theories and being able to apply them to real life is important to me.”
