Students
I am looking for a postdoc to join my research team!
Project Area 1: CS Education
- Identifying pedogogical techniques in computer science that advance equity, inclusion, and student learning outcomes; in particular, I'm interested in socially and culturally relevant approaches that use large-scale, dynamic data sets in introductory computer science courses.
- Creative predictive systems that incorporate behavior change techniques that encourage persistence on computer science assignments and enhance learning outcomes
Project Area 2: Broadening Participation in Computing
- I'm interested in developing theory and implementing and studying interventions that broaden participation of Black and Hispanic/Latinx students and women students in computing, with approaches grounded in social justice and anti-racist frameworks.
I am also looking for graduate research assistants!
Project 1: Focuses on developing algorithms and systems to promote the use of wearable devices to monitor, understand, and improve health and well-being.
Project 2: Focuses on machine learning applied to sensor data from wearable computing devices that can be used by security analysts for next generation network threat detection.
Project 3: Focuses on identifying pedogogical techniques in computer science that advance equity, inclusion, and student learning outcomes; in particular, I'm interested in socially and culturally relevant approaches that use large-scale, dynamic data sets in introductory computer science courses.
If you are interested in working with me on either of these projects, please send me an email describing your previous experiences working either in industry internships, research labs, or on your own independent projects and attach your cv.
