Dr. Ranga’s research is centered around exploring low-cost high impact interventions at Salem State University to promote long-term student success. She has adopted technology-infused teaching, semi-flipped classrooms, active/collaborative learning, and makeshift HyFlex classroom models in her courses. In collaboration with the Northeastern Section of American Chemical Society, she has engaged students in STEM outreach events at the Museum of Science, Boston.
