Professional Life
I am currently a software engineer at Adap.tv, a startup in San Mateo, California.
Academic Life
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Stanford University School of Education (currently on leave). I am in the Psychological Studies in Education area, and my specialization is in Learning Sciences and Technology Design.
My main academic interest is assessment, especially computer-based assessment of mathematics and other related subjects (e.g., science, computer science). My interests in computer-based assessment are twofold: I am interested in developing systems that
- are able to understand and score a wider variety of item types than is currently possible (e.g., scoring student-generated proofs or diagrams instead of responses to multiple-choice or fill-in questions); and that
- provide a more natural interface between the student and the scoring system, so that the system is assessing students' content knowledge and not their test-wiseness or computer-savvy.
