Research Interests

My primary research focus is in Human-Computer Interaction. Specifically, my research investigates the need for more holistic and integrative frameworks for modelling cognitivist and ecological perspectives of learner-computer interaction. My current research examines these issues within the context of Computer-Assisted Language Learning environment. My previous research includes investigations of multimodal interaction and speech recognition in second language learning environments. I maintain a keen interest in software engineering and human language technology in general, which includes recent papers on learning object evaluation and machine learning of learning object assemblies.
