My primary research interests lie broadly in statistical methodologies with applications to educational and psychological measurement.
Associate Professor
I derive immense satisfaction from effectively communicating my ideas and imparting diverse knowledge to my students. Witnessing their mastery of the concepts taught in my class fills me with a profound sense of accomplishment. I am tremendously excited about fostering the generation of new knowledge within my classroom.
My research interests lie broadly in personalized assessment and learning through three perspectives:1) developing innovative adaptive testing designs that can provide efficient individualized assessments and an examinee-friendly testing environment; 2) establishing statistical foundations for a family of restricted latent class models to provide guidelines for model estimation and selection; and 3) developing novel dynamic psychometric models that can measure and predict students’ learning outcomes based on a variety of assessment data, including product data (i.e., students’ responses) and process data (i.e., response time and learning time) to facilitate the development of adaptive learning.
I aspire for my students to find joy in learning statistics and psychometrics under my guidance, and I strive to provide them with the knowledge that will enhance their critical and statistical thinking skills.
I find great enjoyment in engaging in various exercises such as running, playing basketball, and diverse forms of cardio workouts. Additionally, I relish the experience of hiking with my friends and exploring different destinations while traveling.
