Expertise

Area of Expertise:

Statistics and measurement in education and psychology, focusing on developing new statistical models to quantify test-takers’ behaviors and characteristics in technology-enhanced digital assessments (TEDA).

Research Intrests:

  • Test security research
  • Multimodal process data modeling (e.g., response time, and eye-tracking indicators)
  • Educational data mining and machine learning
  • Bayesian estimation and inference
  • Latent variable modeling.

His research focuses on developing innovative psychometric models and procedures to address learning and testing challenges in technology-enhanced systems, with an emphasis on detecting cheating behaviors using process data (e.g., response times, eye-tracking indicators, keystrokes).
