Multimodal Learning Analytics
Designing audio-, video-, text-, and sensing-data pipelines to map learning and coaching interactions and deliver timely support in education settings.
Building trustworthy AI for learning and coaching
I have completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and now work at the University of Florida College of Education with the Anita Zucker Center for Excellence in Early Childhood Studies. My research blends machine learning, learning sciences, LLMs, and interaction design to transform multimodal learning data into insights that educators, coaches, and families can use.
I develop audio-, video-, and text-based data mining frameworks embedded in web applications, with a focus on early childhood learning, caregiver and classroom interactions, and responsible analytics that support practitioners in real settings.
