Dr. Jessica Bartley earned her Ph.D. in Physics from Florida International University in Miami, FL. Her dissertation, entitled Exploring the Neural Mechanisms of Physics Learning, focused on characterizing the neural mechanisms involved in student physics learning and problem solving. She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Physics at Florida International University, where she specializes in interdisciplinary neuroimaging and education research that aims to develop a better understanding of how learning environments impact the neural development of students’ brain networks.
