Dr. Paul R. Hernandez received his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology: Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment from the University of Connecticut in 2011. His research uses advanced (quasi)experimental and longitudinal designs to study the contextual factors, developmental relationships, and motivational processes that support participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields – particularly for students from historically underrepresented groups. His research interests also include the use of multilevel models, structural equation models, and social network models to study the longitudinal mediated and moderated processes that impact learning and STEM career development outcomes. Dr. Hernandez has received external research funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
