Biography:
My research seeks to bridge methods from Psychometrics and Cognitive Modeling with Artificial Intelligence (AI). I am broadly interested in how AI may be used to enhance measures of cognitive traits, and how to accurately measure equivalent traits in AI systems. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Florida in 2023, where my dissertation work focused on analyzing the validity and reliability of AI benchmarks of language understanding. Currently, my research focuses on developing new assessments of human creativity using LLM-based automated item generation and scoring.
