معرفی
Michael Bloodgood is an Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), part of the School of Science. He has been actively contributing to the academic community at TCNJ since joining as one of six new full-time faculty members in 2016, as noted in a TCNJ Science news article from August 2016.
Dr. Bloodgood earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware in 2009. His academic journey has led him to become a respected researcher and educator specializing in data-intensive computational fields.
Dr. Bloodgood's research primarily focuses on data science, machine learning, and natural language processing. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications, particularly in text classification, active learning methodologies, and computational linguistics. He has developed innovative approaches to stopping criteria in active learning systems, translation lexicon acquisition for low-resource languages, and methods for improving cognates detection through global constraints. His research often involves undergraduate student collaborators, reflecting TCNJ's emphasis on mentored research experiences.
Dr. Bloodgood has received multiple Mentored Undergraduate Student Experience (MUSE) Awards (2024, 2022) and a Support of Scholarly Activities (SOSA) Award (2023) from TCNJ, recognizing his commitment to undergraduate research mentorship. His papers have been finalists for Best Paper at the IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC) in 2022 and 2020, demonstrating the quality and impact of his scholarly work.
As an educator, Dr. Bloodgood teaches a range of courses including Machine Learning (CS 426), Natural Language Processing (CS 427), and Mentored Research. He serves on multiple departmental and college committees, including the Computer Science Promotion and Reappointment Committee (as Chair for 2024-2025) and the Mentored Research and Internships Council. His dedication to student research is evident through his active recruitment of TCNJ students for mentored research projects, with dedicated web pages for research projects, mentees, and funding opportunities.
