Faculty mentor: Dr. Walter L. Leite · SHDOSE, College of Education, University of Florida

• Co-developed four versions of an automated MAZE comprehension test, using three novel LLM-based distractor-generation methods plus a dictionary-based control, deployed and administered inside a production reading application.
• Developing scoring models that normalize for word complexity and item difficulty so scores remain comparable across automatically generated passages.
• Conducting reliability and validity analyses, including alternate-form reliability, internal consistency, and correlations with established measures of reading comprehension.

• Co-author, “Automated Generation and Scoring of Maze Reading Comprehension Assessments.” Accepted through peer review for presentation at the NCME Artificial Intelligence in Measurement and Education Conference (AIME-Con), October 5–7, 2026, Pittsburgh, PA.
• Manuscript in preparation for submission to Computers & Education.

Independent project

• Web-scraped and cross-referenced millions of posts and interactions into a SQLite database for structured analysis.
• Generated cluster graphs to identify interest groups and detect user behavior patterns.
• Performed semantic analysis on clusters for applications in community analysis, bot detection, and market research.
