RESEARCH

Research that moves from ideas to systems and back again.

Selected publications and reports across educational AI, applied higher education, data mining, and intelligent systems.

A transparent knowledge tree with golden branches against a deep navy background

The research portfolio spans more than three decades. Recent work concentrates on AI-enabled teaching design, problem competency, evidence-informed learning, and governance. Earlier work in expert systems and data mining provides a technical and conceptual foundation for the current agenda.
