I currently work on strengthening data systems to support evidence-based policy making, implementation and monitoring in public sector education. As part of my work, I have compiled the annual report on public sector education (from Early Childhood through to grade 12) in Punjab, Pakistan.
My dissertation research focused on building natural language processing and machine learning tools to support K-12 STEM education, particularly for English language learners (ELLS). I am working on:
Predicting the difficulty level of assessment questions
Automatic Essay Scoring
Automatically mapping questions to the skills needed to solve them
Earlier in my graduate studies I did some research on WiFi, particularly MAC layer protocols.
