Roland Hübscher

Roland Hübscher received his PhD in Computer Science from University of Colorado, Boulder. His research interests are in the design of intelligent user interfaces for learners. His collaborative research with colleagues from educational psychology, physics, and computer science is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education. He has published in several fields including educational psychology, education and technology, data mining, visual programming languages, optimization, and computer and music.
