Research

Research Interests:

Enthusiastic in connecting with students and researchers in the fields of Computer Science and Education keen in drawing the path to new educational approaches and lead the way in multidisciplinary advances in these related research interests:

• AI-based applications in assessment for learning:
  • in grading processes, criteria, academic integrity and misconduct,
  • in the design and development of inclusive and active assessments in formative and summative stages, and
  • in adaptive learning and real-time feedback in intelligent assessments and learning analytics.
• Educational approaches to computational linguistics in the comprehension and understanding of how the brain processes language through computational models or cognitive computational neuroscience of language.
• Educational projects for gender balance in STEM education

We are accepting postgraduate students pursuing projects in these fields (MSc, EdD or PhD). Reach out to discuss your projects g.molinero@qmul.ac.uk
