Research Interests:
My research interests include Intelligent Tutoring Systems (how to build them & how to determine their effectiveness). I want to know how we can get computers to be as effective as good human tutors. I am also interested in Machine Learning and Data Mining, mostly as it is related to Intelligent Tutoring. I am interested in cognitive modeling, which is where we build computer programs that behave the way human behave.
