Core Expertise

As an Educational Content Alchemist, I design intelligent recommendation systems that transform raw educational resources into personalized learning journeys. My work combines learning science, AI-driven content analysis, and behavioral engagement modeling to create dynamic pathways for knowledge acquisition.

Technical Capabilities

1. Precision Recommendation Engines

  • Cognitive Profiling:

    • Developed EduMatch – A multi-dimensional recommendation algorithm analyzing 40+ learner attributes (prior knowledge, engagement patterns, metacognitive skills)

    • Integrated real-time attention analytics to adjust content recommendations based on focus levels

  • Context-Aware Suggestions:

    • Built temporal recommendation models optimizing content delivery timing (e.g., spaced repetition windows)

2. Content Intelligence

  • Semantic Mapping:

    • Created knowledge graph embeddings linking 500K+ educational resources across 30+ disciplines

    • Implemented difficulty calibration algorithms that auto-adjust based on learner performance

  • Quality Filtering:

    • Designed credibility scoring systems for open educational resources

3. Engagement Optimization

  • Motivation Engineering:

    • Developed personalized challenge curves maintaining optimal learning flow

    • Pioneered social recommendation triggers that leverage peer learning patterns

Impact & Collaborations

  • Major Deployments:

    • Lead Architect for Coursera's Adaptive Learning Pathways

    • Advisor to UNESCO's Global OER Recommendation Project

  • Open Resources:

    • Released EduRecLib – Comprehensive dataset of 10M+ learner-content interactions

Signature Innovations

  • Framework: The 3C Recommendation Model (Content, Context, Cognition)

  • Publication: "Beyond Collaborative Filtering: The Neuroscience of Educational Recommendations" (Nature Learning Technologies, 2025)

  • Award: 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Award for Best Personalized Learning Solution

Optional Customizations

  • For EdTech Platforms: "Our system increased content completion rates by 75% while reducing learner overwhelm"

  • For Publishers: "Enabled dynamic textbook assembly with 90% relevance scores"

  • For Media: "Featured in MIT Technology Review's 'How AI Curates Your Learning Future'"
