Core Expertise

As a Cognitive Computing Specialist, I engineer intelligent tutoring systems that synthesize adaptive learning algorithms, neuroscience-based engagement models, and multimodal interaction design to create personalized educational experiences. My work bridges artificial intelligence and pedagogical research to deliver scalable, human-centric learning solutions.

Technical Capabilities

1. Adaptive Learning Engines

  • Dynamic Knowledge Mapping:

    • Developed CogniTutor – A real-time competency tracking system that adjusts lesson difficulty using Bayesian knowledge tracing (improves learning speed by 40%)

    • Integrated eye-tracking analytics to detect confusion/fatigue states

  • Personalized Feedback Systems:

    • Created natural language generation tools providing nuanced writing critiques beyond grammar checks

2. Multimodal Interaction

  • Conversational AI Tutors:

    • Built emotion-aware dialog systems that adapt tone/complexity based on student frustration levels

    • Implemented Socratic questioning engines for conceptual mastery in STEM subjects

  • Augmented Reality Tutors:

    • Designed 3D concept visualizers for abstract mathematical principles

3. Scalable Implementation

  • Teacher Empowerment Tools:

    • Developed classroom orchestration dashboards highlighting at-risk students

    • Created automated lesson planning assistants aligning with curriculum standards

Impact & Collaborations

  • Major Deployments:

    • Lead Architect for Pearson's Next-Gen Digital Tutor

    • Advisor to Khan Academy's AI Tutor Initiative

  • Open Resources:

    • Released TutorBench – Largest dataset of tutor-student interactions (12M+ dialogs)

Signature Innovations

  • Framework: The Engagement-Understanding-Retention (EUR) Optimization Model

  • Publication: "Breaking the Forgetting Curve: How AI Tutors Achieve 90% Retention Rates" (Nature Education Technology, 2025)

  • Award: 2025 ISTE Artificial Intelligence in Education Pioneer

Optional Customizations

  • For EdTech Companies: "Our system reduced dropout rates by 65% in remedial math programs"

  • For School Districts: "Enabled personalized learning at scale with 1:20 teacher-AI tutor ratios"

  • For Media: "Featured in WIRED's 'The AI That Knows When You're Confused'"

AI Tutoring

Enhancing learning through advanced AI methodologies and frameworks.

A group of people seated in a computer lab, each facing a desktop computer. The monitors display a website with text and colorful graphics. The room is dimly lit, with a presentation projected on a screen in the background. One person is holding a phone, and there are books or notebooks on the desk.

A spacious classroom or learning area filled with several wooden tables and blue chairs arranged neatly. Bookshelves line the room, filled with books and educational materials. The walls feature large windows that provide natural light. Chalkboards are visible on some pillars, displaying handwritten notes and drawings.
