Biography
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Educational Data Science at the School of Information, University of Michigan. My work focuses on analysing digital traces in educational settings to understand 1) how learning design influences student engagement & academic performance, and 2) how students’ networks change over time. My research employed a wide range of statistical and computational techniques, such as multilevel modelling, network analysis, time-series/temporal analysis, and machine learning. My work has been published at top academic outlets such as Computers and Human Behaviors, IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and received multiple best paper awards at established conferences (e.g. LAK18 and HCI International 17). Prior to joining UMich, I was a PhD candidate in Learning Analytics at The Open University UK and an Associate Lecturer in Applied Statistics at the University of Arts London. I have a background in Economics (BSc. & Msc.) at Maastricht University, Netherlands.
