About
me
My name is Mike Hull
I started as an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois studying plasma engineering. After obtaining my BS degree, I changed career paths to pursue my true passion: teaching physics.
I became a graduate student in the Physics Education Research Group at the University of Maryland, to research how people think about physics, and how I and other physics teachers can teach it better.
