Selected work

Research at the center. Software in practice.

My current path is in AI and education. These research projects lead the way, alongside applied software that puts systems design into practice.

Research foundations

Two connected questions.

How can we inspect what a learner model knows? And what evidence should connect that model to an educational decision?

Research engineering

Auditable knowledge tracing

My M.S. thesis develops a temporal heterogeneous Student Knowledge Map for separating shared learning structure, mutable learner state, and immutable evidence. The evaluation uses train-only provenance, prediction-before-update replay, prospectively locked decisions, and a separate release-verification workflow.

My role: Research design, implementation, experiment governance, analysis, visualization, and technical writing.
Why it matters: A predictive result is more useful when its state, provenance, comparison, and failure boundaries remain inspectable.
Public artifact: Earlier graph knowledge-tracing prototype

Research synthesis

Evidence-to-action framework for adaptive assessment

As first and corresponding author, I developed a structured critical narrative review that traces adaptive assessment from psychometrics through modern AI. The manuscript was submitted to Studies in Educational Evaluation in 2026.

See the paper’s contribution

Contribution: A six-layer evidence-to-action framework integrating established measurement, decision, human-factors, and lifecycle perspectives.
Key distinction: What a system infers about a learner is separate from the action it selects and the effect that action has.
Status: Submitted manuscript; not presented as a peer-reviewed publication.

Supporting work

Software for everyday problems.

Applied work remains part of my practice. This prototype shows how I translate a concrete workflow into a usable interface.

Private product prototype

Credential renewal tracking for small contractors

A mobile and web product prototype for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors that need to track licenses, certifications, equipment records, and renewal dates without maintaining a spreadsheet.

Workflow: Capture a record, confirm its expiration date, see current/due-soon/expired state, and configure reminders.
Safety boundary: OCR may suggest a date, but a person must confirm it. The product does not claim legal compliance.
Verification: Type checking, web export, responsive browser checks, and functional record creation.

Related prototypes

People and interaction.

These earlier prototypes connect to my interest in human-centered computing. They provide implementation context rather than evidence of educational outcomes.
