excerpt: Dr. Jessica Bartley graduates!
---

[Dr. Jessica Bartley](/team/bartley-jessica) (Postdoc, FIU) participated in the Florida International University commencement ceremonies last month. [Dr. Angela Laird](/team/laird-angela), her graduate mentor, was also there. Congratulations to them both!

[Dr. Jessica Bartley](/team/bartley-jessica) successfully defended her dissertation, titled “Exploring the Neural Mechanisms of Physics Learning”, last November. Currently, she’s a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Florida International University’s Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging Center (Miami, Florida). Would you like to know more about Dr. Bartley’s work?

Jessica is a fifth-year graduate student in the Department of Physics at Florida International University. She previously earned a Masters in Physics from FIU and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Physics and Math at the University of Colorado (Boulder, CO) where she completed a thesis in physics education research. Her research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms involved in student physics learning. This NSF-funded project uses functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify brain networks engaged during physics reasoning. Jessica is ultimately interested in applying this interdisciplinary neuroimaging and education research towards developing a better understanding of how learning environments impact the neural development of students’ brain networks.
