Tim Nelson

Tim Nelson serves as an Associate Teaching Professor in Brown University's Department of Computer Science, teaching core courses including Software Engineering (CSCI 0320/1340) and Logic for Systems (CSCI 1710/1950Y) alongside foundational computing courses.

His academic credentials feature a PhD and MS from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (2013, 2010), BS from Worcester State University (2007), and AA from Diablo Valley College (1999).

Research focuses on formal methods education, specifically developing tools like Forge to address student misconceptions in linear temporal logic while bridging theoretical formal methods with practical software engineering through property-based testing and model validation techniques.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals consistent emphasis on educational interventions: adaptive tutors for logic learning, lightweight diagramming systems, and cognitive approaches to model-finding output dominate his scholarly output.
