Background

Muxin received her PhD in Physics Education Research (PER) from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2023 with Dr. Eric Kuo. Her thesis focused on analyzing cognitive and socio-emotional aspects of small group interactions in physics discussion sections and labs. She is particularly passionate about understanding the role of emotions in science education and scientific practices. She is currently teaching (and learning to teach) the Physics 114 course at UNC-CH.

Safety & diversity

We study the Universe both to help solve the world’s problems and to open up new frontiers of understanding for humanity. Our enterprise is inherently global: we rely on the combined efforts of people from all over the world. It is also inherently open-minded: we embrace logical inquiry and empiricism, which unite us regardless of race, gender, sexuality, disability, and religious and political beliefs. We affirm the commitment of the department to maintaining a welcoming and protected space for science and thus for everyone who joins in our shared enterprise. See our community page for more information.
