Associate Professor of Information and Computer Science, University of Michigan. My lab explores algorithms and interfaces for intelligent information systems that optimally connect people with information, especially for educational goals. Examples include search engines that can deliver the right kind of personalized information at the right time, and intelligent tutoring systems that learn when and how to be most helpful in teaching a particular student. Building effective, reliable systems like these will require new theoretical, algorithmic, and methodological advances in multiple research areas, including machine learning, natural language processing, optimization, information retrieval, and human-computer interaction. My current research is centered on education, but I'm also interested in mobile and health-related applications. Before joining the University of Michigan I was a researcher at Microsoft Research.
