Data Science Educational Research
I conduct pedagogical research in data science problem solving. This project was originally funded by the Simon Initiative at Carnegie Mellon. We developed a repository of caselets (= bite size case studies) deployed at the Open Learning Initiative platform (https://oli.cmu.edu/). At UMBC, together with Dr. Shimei Pan, we are looking into how to weave ethical considerations into the data problem solving skills training, with a seed grant from the Academic Data Science Alliance.
