Diego G. Campos

Diego G. Campos is a Researcher at the Centre for Educational Measurement (CEMO) within the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Oslo. His work focuses on advancing methodological innovations in educational research, particularly in integrating large-scale data into systematic reviews and meta-analyses. He was awarded His Majesty the King’s Gold Medal 2025 for his doctoral thesis, which introduced novel approaches to streamline evidence synthesis using machine learning and two-stage meta-analysis techniques. His research bridges gaps between research and policy by enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of knowledge synthesis in education, addressing challenges like information overflow and digital divides.

Key contributions include:

• Developing machine learning algorithms to accelerate study screening in systematic reviews.
• Pioneering two-stage individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis to handle complex datasets.
• Leading the Digital Divide in Education Research Hub (DiDiRes), addressing digital inequalities in education.

Diego’s awards include the King’s Gold Medal and an international publication prize for machine learning applications in screening. His work emphasizes making research more practical, cumulative, and impactful for policy and practice.
