Research
I am a Professor in the Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science program and a researcher at the Centre for Research in Applied Measurement and Evaluation CRAME) at the University of Alberta. I teach courses on computational psychometrics, machine learning, and statistical modeling. Also, I regularly give workshops and develop online courses on a variety of topics, such as data mining, big data modeling, data visualization, and statistical data analysis using software programs like R, SAS, and Python. My ultimate goal is to empower learners to harness the transformative power of data.
My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), educational data mining, and learning analytics. Through the utilization of AI-driven algorithms and natural language processing, I seek to create intelligent systems that can dynamically adapt to learner preferences, cognitive styles, and performance trajectories. My scholarly work has been published in prestigious journals, such as Educational and Psychological Measurement, Review of Educational Research, and Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence. I am also a co-author of the CRC Press book: Handbook of Educational Measurement and Psychometrics Using R.
