Hi, I'm Okan Bulut
Professor of Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science
I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, educational data mining, and learning analytics — building intelligent assessment systems that adapt to how people learn. My ultimate goal is to empower learners and educators to harness the transformative power of data.
Measurement meets artificial intelligence
I am a Professor in the Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science program and a researcher at the Centre for Research in Applied Measurement and Evaluation (CRAME) at the University of Alberta. I teach courses on computational psychometrics, machine learning, and statistical modeling, and I regularly give workshops and develop online courses on data mining, big data modeling, data visualization, and statistical data analysis using R, SAS, and Python.
My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), educational data mining, and learning analytics. Using AI-driven algorithms and natural language processing, I seek to create intelligent systems that dynamically adapt to learner preferences, cognitive styles, and performance trajectories. My scholarly work has been published in journals such as Educational and Psychological Measurement, Review of Educational Research, and Computers & Education: Artificial Intelligence, and I am a co-author of the CRC Press book Handbook of Educational Measurement and Psychometrics Using R.
