Summary
Arinjoy Basak is a CS educator and digital education researcher with a PhD in Computer Science and 11 years of experience building data-driven learning tools and teaching undergraduate courses. His dissertation developed an automated practice and feedback engine that analyzes students’ equation-based problem-solving to deliver targeted semantic feedback, and he has deployed intuitive problem-solving interfaces with positive classroom outcomes. Beyond education, he has applied data science and algorithmic techniques to public health and network analysis—uncovering opioid-prescription hotspots and designing adversarial graph attacks—demonstrating strengths in large-scale data cleaning, pattern extraction, and open-source tool integration. Currently an instructor in Blacksburg, he designs curricula like Computational Thinking while continuing research on automated feedback for engineering mechanics. Known for bridging rigorous research with practical software development, he seeks exciting, cross-disciplinary problems that improve how students learn complex, math-heavy subjects.
