Projects
My research currently spans three main areas: (1) understanding the complex processes of school closures, (2) understanding classroom dynamics, and (3) developing tools to advance research practice with LLMs. I also have older projects exploring various facets of educational equity and outcomes.
School Closure Research
Examining equity implications and policy trade-offs in school closure decisions through simulation modeling, machine learning, and natural language processing.
Classroom Dynamics Research
Using observational data, acoustic modeling, and LLM-based semantic context to analyze speaker identification and classroom participation.
Tool Development
Creating open-source tools like the pairadigm Python package and edfinr R package to make advanced research methods more accessible.
Other Projects
A collection of research projects examining parental equity beliefs, gentrification, scenario planning, and user learning persistence.
