One is for college students, the Investigative Science Learning Environment project, which she developed with Alan Van Heuvelen and Eugenia Etkina. The other curricular project is for precollege students, Physics Union Mathematics, where she develops innovative materials that promote mathematical reasoning for the middle school/early high school levels of physics.

since 1968, where he is now the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics. His research accomplishments span modern atomic physics, including laser spectroscopy, atom-atom and atom-molecule collisions, atomic line broadening, van der Waals molecules, atom optics, atom trapping, atom interferometry, precision mass measurement, atom interferometry with Bose Einstein Condensates, and condensed matter physics using ultracold bosons and fermions.
