- Exploring how a quantum theory of gravity may be tested
- Understanding how the holographic principle may be preserved in modified gravity theories that possess different black hole horizons and causal structures than general relativity
- Modeling dark matter and energy using exotic new matter fields
- Understanding how inquiry based instructional methods can contribute to K-12 science instruction and developing new methods that incorporate inquiry based methodology into the elementary classroom
