Research
My research examines computational approaches to creativity, with a current focus on large language models for the assessment and support of divergent thinking. I study automated scoring of the Alternative Uses Test, including flexibility and originality, and the use of generative AI in longitudinal and educational creativity research.
My earlier scholarly and artistic work addresses computational literature, algorithmic translation, digital storytelling, creative coding, and AI-based art.
