Curating, annotating, and managing text corpora (e.g., learner responses, instructional content, proficiency-aligned corpora) to support LLM training, fine-tuning, and evaluation

Creating novel AI-based tools to infer individuals' cognitive states with generative models to adapt learning experiences in near-real time

Developing software to deploy laboratory-developed GenAI-enabled systems into real-world environments where training and education occurs

Designing and executing human subject studies to validate AI- and GenAI-driven learning paradigms, including their effectiveness, robustness, and ethical use
