Doctoral Student
Hannah Puttre is a doctoral student at Boston University Wheelock College of Education and Human Development studying applied human development. A recipient of a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, Hannah’s research focuses on informal learning and how to capitalize on everyday learning opportunities and children’s inherent curiosities in early STEM learning, as well as the practical applications of these types of research in bridging early achievement gaps in STEM.
Previously, Hannah worked as a laboratory manager at the University of Delaware with Dr. Roberta Golinkoff, where she focused on a project aimed at developing a tablet-based language screener for two-year-olds.
