PROFILE
I am an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in cognitive psychology, human-computer interactions, data mining, and learning analytics. My research examines how patterns of behavior can be extracted form digital environments to better understand and ultimately support users’ cognitive, metacognitive, and regulatory processes. Through my work I have analyzed complex data sets from a variety of digital environments ranging from web-based social media to commercial console games. Through this work I have gained over 5 years of experience analyzing and interpreting “big data” sets that include process, natural language and physiological data.
