Dr. Nathan Ong serves in a post-doctoral partnership between the Teaching Center and LRDC, with a focus on generative AI research and applications. Dr. Ong finished his PhD in December 2023 in Pitt’s Department of Computer Science. His dissertation topic was about taking existing University student data and creating tools to assist academic advisors talk about course content materials and provide additional contextual information about the programs they advise. This research can be enhanced through the usage of generative AI, specifically in terms of scaling up the ability for our systems to determine what concepts are being taught in a course and the relationships between those concepts, simply by analyzing the course content materials.
Dr. Ong is eager to discuss his dissertation research, or about your projects and how to incorporate AI and generative AI.
