About

My work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, knowledge systems, and human-centered technology. I began my academic journey in political science, studying human behavior, conflict, and decision-making. Over time, my research moved toward computational approaches, where I explored how data, statistical methods, and machine learning can help us understand complex systems and uncover patterns hidden within large amounts of information.

This journey naturally led me to artificial intelligence. Through my work with AI and emerging technologies, I became increasingly interested not only in studying intelligent systems but also in building them. Today, I focus on building AI-powered tools that help people interact with knowledge more effectively. My interests include AI for research, education, libraries, legal technology, and knowledge discovery. Research gives me questions. Software gives me the ability to build answers.

Selected Research

My work spans four areas: how AI is reshaping higher education, including student attitudes, academic integrity, and institutional adaptation; how AI tools are changing research workflows in academic and legal settings; how institutions regulate AI through governance structures and organizational policy; and how machine learning and large language models can forecast conflict dynamics and policy outcomes.

Selected Projects

My projects translate research into working systems. They span AI literacy platforms for academic libraries, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines for research and legal workflows, and interactive tools for mapping AI governance across law schools. These tools are designed for researchers, librarians, legal educators, and higher education professionals navigating the rapid integration of AI into their fields.
