I am an assistant professor at the department of Educational Psychology and Special Education (EPSE), University of Saskatchewan. My research interest includes: 1. Applied Measurement & Methodological Integration: Leveraging a diverse toolkit —including advanced psychometrics, network analysis, natural language processing, machine learning, and qualitative/mixed methods frameworks —to translate conceptual questions into rigorous analytical designs. The intention is to bridge empirical inquiry across fields to extract robust, actionable insights from diverse data types. 2. Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining: Harnessing multi-modal and digital learning trace data to extract actionable pedagogical insights by bridging psychometric measurement models and computational methods. This work focuses on developing interpretable models, adaptive feedback architectures, and diagnostic assessments that empower educators, support self-regulated learning, and optimize instructional environments without sacrificing pedagogical context. 3. Meta-Research, Metrics, & Scientific Integrity: Applying measurement theory, educational theory, and data science to critically examine how quantitative metrics and evaluation systems govern scientific ecosystems. This research audits academic publishing practices, citation metrics, prestige hierarchies, and gatekeeping mechanisms to advocate for responsible metric use, transparent evaluation, and structural equity in knowledge production.
