About

I joined GWU in the fall of 2021, having previously taught computer science at George Mason University for eight years. My interests in computer science education focus on how to retain the number of students in such courses, without sacrificing rigor, via techniques such as self-pacing, active learning, test-driven development, automated feedback, student-led discussions, and focusing on non-traditional computer science applications. I have also worked in industry as a data scientist at a startup, and as an applied deep learning researcher at the non-profit IQT Labs, specializing in biomedical applications of computer vision and NLP. My current research interests include applying NLP to literature and its publishing industry.
