I love computer science and explore research, teaching, and applications in data science, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and education
Qualifications
Research Interests
My research interests are artificial intelligence, machine learning, constraint optimization, distributed and high performance computing, scientific computing, and computer science education. I explore applications in medical data, earth and space exploration, and multi-agent and mobile systems.
My current projects include machine learning models for prediction of health conditions and treatment efficacy, improved optimization for designing and training deep learning networks, adaptive sampling for scientific simulation, uncertainty reasoning for dynamic agent systems, improved curriculum and policies for primary and secondary professional development, service learning partnerships between students and community educators, and gamification of threshold concepts in computer science.
