About

Hi! My name is Phuong Pham (full name is Phuong Ngoc Viet Pham). I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science @Pitt. I am working with professor Jingtao Wang. Welcome to check our lab website and particularly our specific project AttentiveLearner in improving learning experience in large classrooms, flipped classrooms, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) via unmodified smartphones. Previously, I have had an opportunity to work with professor Janyce Wiebe and professor Rebecca Hwa in a text classification project on clinical data.

Prior to coming to Pitt, I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Information Technology and Computer Science at University of Sciences, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.

Research

My research interest include Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Mobile Interfaces, Intelligent User Interfaces, Machine Learning and Its Applications in User Interfaces and Education, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning. Currently, I am working in emotion-aware interface for mobile MOOC learning. We name the app AttentiveLearner, which can infer learner's cognitive and affective states via physiological signals and facial expressions collected from unmodified smartphones. The approach is scalable for large learning environments as MOOC because it can run on today's smartphones without dedicated sensors.
