Madeleine supports instructors and teaching teams in designing more effective high-enrollment courses, with a particular emphasis on introductory STEM classes. These courses often serve as gateway courses that can unintentionally hinder students from pursuing STEM majors. She previously served as the center’s STEM Specialist and was part of the Instructional Technology Consultant team. Madeleine enjoys collaborating with instructors and colleagues across campus and throughout the IU system on projects that enhance teaching and learning. She holds a B.S. in Microbiology, an M.S. in Applied Health Science (Safety Management), and a Ph.D. in Human Performance (Motor Learning).

IUB Courses taught 

  • Luddy School of Informatics, Computer Science, and Engineering. I399 Research Experience for Undergraduates (2024-2026), 60 students, year-long course. 
  • I love helping acclimate our first- and second-year students to college and helping them grow as researchers, often in disciplines outside of their majors.
