Personal Website of Conrad Borchers
Welcome! 👋
I am a PhD student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University, School of Computer Science where I am advised by Vincent Aleven and Ken Koedinger. I am broadly interested in studying the effectiveness of educational technologies and pathways through data science methods.
I previously blogged on the APIs of Twitter and CrowdTangle, among others. Some highlights, including information on how I created this website, are listed here. Feel free to explore my posts here.
