On 1 October 2024, KMi’s Scholarly Knowledge Modelling (SKM) team welcomed Michael McCoubrey, who is starting his part-time doctoral research under the supervision of Dr Angelo Salatino, Dr Francesco Osborne, and Prof Enrico Motta. Michael will investigate novel solutions for automatic hypotheses generation using AI.
As a Data Scientist at The Open University, Michael brings expertise in machine learning and a proven track record in improving student retention. He develops predictive models, rigorously evaluates interventions, analyzes and communicates data-driven insights, and creates tools to enhance team efficiency and organizational integration.
We are excited to have Michael onboard, and we look forward to working with him on tackling the challenge of automatic hypothesis generation.
