Research

My research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, human-centered AI, and educational data mining. I am passionate about establishing meaningful, human-centered relationships between AI and various stakeholders in education. To achieve this, I conduct human subject experiments, perform quantitative (e.g., Bayesian statistics, causal inference) and qualitative analysis, and build innovative interactive systems.
