Research platforms
Each platform is designed and built in the lab as a research instrument. Each runs inside credit-bearing university courses under IRB approval, so the evidence comes from real coursework.
MIRA-Agent
Asks students to explain their reasoning, and any pasted code, before their code can run.
MIRA-Sim
AI stakeholders press students toward their positions across six policy stages.
MIRA-Py
Each Python task opens only after a concept check and a code check.
Design mockupMIRA-Roundtable
Small groups meet live to debate a question without a settled answer while an AI discussant argues the side no one has taken.
Collaborations
Cybernetic Sabotage
Models learners’ affective states during SQL problem-solving through dynamic Bayesian networks over interaction traces, distinguishing productive confusion from frustration that precedes disengagement. Collaboration with Northeastern University (Dr. Hazra Imran).
