Faculty

Mark Guzdial (or here): Mark is a Professor in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. Mark is a member of the GVU Center, the Cognitive Science program, and the EduTech Institute. He received his Ph.D. in education and computer science (a joint degree) at the University of Michigan in 1993, where he developed Emile, an environment for high school science learners programming multimedia demonstrations and physics simulations. He is also the designer of MediaText, a multimedia composition environment used in elementary and high school classrooms. More recently his work focuses on the development of contextualized approaches to computing education—most notably, the Media Computation curriculum.

Ph.D. Students

Brian Dorn: Brian is a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate concentrating in LST. He completed his undergraduate studies at Northwest Missouri State University. He also holds a Master's degree from Iowa State University. His research examines how professional software tools that have facilities for programming (e.g., AutoCAD, SAS, Photoshop) might support the learning of software design and other computer science subject content.

Michael Hewner: Michael is a Computer Science Ph.D. student concentrating in LST. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also holds a Master's degree from Illinois. His research looks at how people who are interested in computer science learn to program.

Lijun Ni: Lijun is a Human-Centered Computing Ph.D student concentrating in LST. She completed her undergraduate studies at Central China Normal University.She also holds a Master's degree from East China Normal University. Her current research focuses on computer science teachers' adoption of curriculum innovations.

Allison Elliott Tew: Allison is a Computer Science Ph.D. student concentrating in LST. She has previously completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees here at Georgia Tech. Her research focuses on computer science education, and more specifically, the impact of alternate introductory courses.

Post Doctoral Researchers

Davide Fossati: Davide received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago in summer 2009. He also holds an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy (2004), and an M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago (2003). His research focuses on the applications of Artificial Intelligence in education, such as Intelligent Tutoring Systems. The goal of his current work, sponsored by the Computing Innovation Fellows Project, is to build computational models and tools to support formative assessment in Computer Science education.
