Research Interests

Dr. Ward's research spans two primary areas: mathematics education and harmonic analysis. In education, she explores active learning methodologies, student engagement strategies, and curriculum design for calculus and proof-based courses. Her harmonic analysis work involves mixed Lebesgue spaces, wavelet theory, and operator theory applications.

Recent Publications

Her recent work emphasizes pedagogical innovations such as board-based homework systems, just-in-time academic interventions, and the intersection of math with civic topics like gerrymandering. Earlier contributions include foundational studies in harmonic analysis involving Lebesgue spaces and Fourier multipliers.
