Biography
I am a Teaching Associate Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. My primary focus of research is in Computer Science Education, but I also have experience/interests in UX, HCI, VR, GP-GPU Programming, and Music performance.
My research lies in the intersection of human authored automated feedback and instructional design. In the current age of LLMs, where "AI" is being used to produce feedback, human authored feedback remains the gold standard by which AI generated feedback needs to be compared against. As such, the continued efforts in automating instructor authored and instructor curated feedback remains important to be developed and advanced in parallel with LLM based feedback so that we always have a good standard of comparison.
