His work examines how students and educators perceive and interpret scientific representations, particularly in 3D spatial reasoning and astronomical diagrams like the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. Key themes include disciplinary affordances, semiotic analysis, and epistemological barriers in STEM education.
Recent publications (2011–2018) highlight trends in astronomy education, physics didactics, and cognitive modeling, with a focus on visual perception challenges and pedagogical frameworks.
