Welcome to my page @ Rutgers University!
I am currently working on CS Education, but my other interests include Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Check out my latest paper: Exploring Novice Programmers’ Homework Practices: Initial Observations of Information Seeking Behaviors.
Previously, my colleagues and I have published Exploring the Gender Gap at a Large Public R1 Research University.
I earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers in October 2014 with Michael. My thesis was Maximum Likelihood Inverse Reinforcement Learning.
