OverviewAI-generated summary

Sandhya Krishnan's research interests encompass both computational science and educational studies. Her work in computational science has focused on the synthesis of high-performance parallel programs, particularly for quantum chemistry models. This includes developing methods for automatic code generation for many-body electronic structure calculations and optimizing global communication for tensor contraction expressions under memory constraints. She has also investigated data locality optimization for efficient out-of-core algorithms.

In the realm of education, Krishnan has explored learning gains associated with different pedagogical approaches. Her research includes a quasi-experimental study comparing serious educational gameplay with hands-on science activities in elementary classrooms. She has also examined the construction of explanations within active learning preparatory chemistry courses. Krishnan holds an h-index of 9 with 21 publications and 474 citations.
