The University of Pennsylvania received a $400,807 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. This CAREER award supports research to develop design patterns, interaction techniques, and software toolkits that enhance the comprehension of scientific notation, equations, and formal proofs through interactive digital engagement. The project will produce a design space documenting effective methods for explaining formalisms, authoring tools enabling creation of explorable representations, and reading tools supporting reader interaction with complex mathematical and logical content through on-demand diagrams, walkthroughs, simulations, and logical traces. The research deliverables will include empirical evidence of pedagogical effectiveness grounded in laboratory and classroom learning studies involving both scientists and students. By reducing barriers to understanding formal representations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, this work aims to strengthen STEM education outcomes and workforce development. The project will be conducted at the University of Pennsylvania's Philadelphia campus and represents the institution's ongoing contributions to foundational research in human-computer interaction and science education through the National Science Foundation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
