Emily Moore

Dr. Emily Moore serves as the Director of Research and Accessibility for the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she focuses on enhancing simulation design and accessibility for diverse learners. Her research explores how students engage with simulations and the impact on their learning experiences. Dr. Moore leads initiatives to develop multimodal simulations that incorporate alternative input methods, auditory descriptions, and sonification, making PhET simulations accessible to students with visual or mobility impairments. Her efforts have culminated in the creation of PhET's first simulations designed specifically for blind students. With over 30 publications in science education, educational technology, and accessibility, she also contributes to teacher professional development and collaborates with K-12 educators and higher education faculty to create effective classroom activities available on the PhET website.
