Dr. Dimmel has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in teacher education. He is the founder and director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/imre\/\">Immersive Mathematics in Rendered Environments<\/a> (IMRE) Lab, which designs virtual and augmented reality math and science learning environments, and investigates how VR and AR technologies can transform STEM education. In addition, he led a team that developed the SunRule, an interactive sculpture that harnesses the rays of the sun to help users explore multiplication and division. The project was chosen for UMaine&#8217;s MIRTA accelerator, a program designed to advance research along the path to commercialization, turning lab innovations into real-world products and services with public benefit. In 2022, Dimmel received a <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/edhd\/2022\/02\/01\/dimmels-nsf-career-award-to-support-research-on-teaching-and-learning-of-geometry-using-vr-and-ar-technology\/\">National Science Foundation CAREER Award<\/a>, the organization\u2019s most prestigious award for early career faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education<\/strong><br>Ph.D., Mathematics Education, University of Michigan<br>M.S., Mathematics, University of Michigan<br>B.S., Mathematics and Philosophy, Hartwick College<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Courses taught at UMaine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>EMA 314: Teaching Mathematics in Elementary School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EMA 405\/505: Mathematics for Secondary Teachers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SMT 506: Integrated Approaches in Mathematics Education II<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EDT 570: Leveraging Crowd-Based Knowledge in K-12 Classrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EDT 616: New Directions for Educational Technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EHD 690: Foundations of Inquiry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sample publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bock, C.
