Scientific
Research Dr. Stokes’ scientific research focuses on
understanding the structural and optical properties of semiconductor
materials for the development of novel detectors and lasers for infrared
applications. She utilizes
research tools such as FTIR spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction to understand
the relationship of the nanostructure of materials to its optical
response. |

Dr. Stokes is the recipient of the 2023 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science,
Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. |
Educational
Research Dr. Stokes is involved in
educational research which focusses on preparation of Science and Math
teachers for secondary education and on physics education research focusing improving student success in physics
courses. Her approach
utilizes inquiry based teaching and learning strategies for promotion of
success in learning communities.
She is currently an American Physical Society (APS) PhysTEC Fellow. |
