helping people realize and satisfy their needs and ambitions is a key
to reaching better lives for individuals and a more just society. This
can be achieved by helping people become more curious, capable, and
innovative learners.
My research focuses on promoting and understanding how people learn to learn, using intelligent tutoring systems. Education PhD candidate at the Human Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon University.
2003-present
My
research evolves around supporting
students’ general learning skills using Intelligent Tutoring
Systems. To that end I have been developing and evaluating The Help
Tutor (which teaches help-seeking skills), The Self-Assessment Tutor
(which supports self-assessment of students’ own
capabilities), and CT (a teachable agent to help students extract
meaningful features from novel content).

cutting-edge theories and methodologies in cognitive and developmental
psychology, statistics, human-computer interaction and instructional
technology; (b) familiar with many of the fundamental problems facing
education in America, and (c) committed to applying their skills and
knowledge to solving those problems.
