I am a cognitive scientist with primary interests in learning environments, human-computer interaction, and intelligent dialogue in tutoring systems. As a graduate student at the University of Memphis, I have been working in these areas of research on projects affiliated with the Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS) and the Cognitive Science Laboratory.
My research focus is on learning/educational technologies, with branches extending into human-computer interaction (perceptual, cognitive, and social aspects), pedagogical strategies, tutorial dialogue/interaction, and mechanisms of feedback. My broader research strategy is to employ basic scientific findings from these branches to motivate a coherent and effective framework for any learning environment.
