Andrew is a Research Scientist Assistant Professor at the Institute for Intelligent Systems & Department of Psychology, within the University of Memphis. He has served as project manager on the pioneering hybrid tutor ElectronixTutor, chair of the IEEE Standards Association working group for Adaptive Instructional Systems, leadership team member for the NSF-funded Learner Data Institute, and project co-leader for a novel form of conversation-based AI learning and engagement called TalkShop. He has experience in classroom instruction for General Psychology, Writing for Psychology, Psychology of Film, and Advanced Statistics.

Andrew studied at the University of Central Florida and the Burnett Honors College on a full National Merit scholarship. After graduating with a B.S. in psychology and a minor in cognitive science, he moved back to his hometown of Cincinnati where he began working as an assistant to Dr. Valerie Shalin and Dr. Robert Gilkey on an investigation of spatialized audio technology at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Andrew entered the Wright State University Human Factors/Industrial Organizational doctoral program in the fall of 2011 where he worked both as a graduate research assistant (investigating social media as a means to facilitate emergency response as part of a National Science Foundation grant) and as a graduate teaching assistant (constructing his own curriculum for a senior Capstone course). In addition, he served as a co-founder of the Professional Development Group, a graduate student organization developed to encourage independent initiatives. While at Wright State, he earned his Master's degree in 2013, the program's Graduate Student Excellence Award in 2014, and his PhD in 2018.

His paper with Valerie Shalin, Sentinels of Breach: Lexical Choice as a Measure of Urgency in Social Media Communications, won the 2016 Human Factors Prize for Excellence in Human Factors/Ergonomics Research. This work formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation, concerning the application of basic psycholinguistic cues to identify areas of relative need within disaster contexts, in an effort to contribute to the symbol grounding problem within social media.

Andrew's research interests include technologically mediated communication, psycholinguistics, semiotics, adaptive educational technology, artificial intelligence, political psychology, and the ethical implications of AI from a psychological perspective.
