معرفی
Nicholas Haber is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education, with a courtesy appointment in Computer Science. His academic journey began with a Sc.B. in Mathematics & Economics from Brown University (2008), followed by a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Stanford University (2013), where his research focused on Partial Differential Equation theory.
Dr. Haber transitioned from pure mathematics to applied AI and education technology, first working on Sension, a company applying computer vision to online education, and later co-founding the Autism Glass Project at Stanford. This project employs wearable technology and computer vision as therapeutic tools for children with autism. He currently serves as Chief Scientific Officer at Sension, Inc. (2013-present).
His research interests span a wide range of interdisciplinary fields:
- Assessment, Testing and Measurement
- Brain and Learning Sciences
- Child Development
- Collaborative Learning
- Data Sciences
- Early Childhood
- Motivation
- Psychology
- Social and Emotional Learning
- Special Education
- Technology and Education
Dr. Haber's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and human development. His work explores how AI can model early human learning through play and social interaction, while simultaneously using insights from human development to improve AI systems. Key themes in his research include person-specific modeling of digital behavior, AI applications in education, child emotion recognition for therapeutic purposes, and the development of embodied AI environments.
Among his notable achievements are:
- Walter V. and Idun Berry Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University (2015)
- Magna Cum Laude, Brown University (2008)
- Member, Phi Beta Kappa (2006)
Dr. Haber actively mentors students across multiple programs, serving as a doctoral dissertation advisor, reader, and co-advisor for numerous students working at the intersection of education, computer science, and cognitive development. He has also contributed to the development of innovative educational tools and therapeutic applications, most notably through the Autism Glass Project, which aims to help children with autism better recognize and interpret social cues.
