Research interests

Her recent research interests are advanced analyses of the effectiveness of Service by customer types, and the effectiveness of Education and Learning by student types using big data for improving the quality of business services and education environments. Her research is based on the application of her unique analytical system for measuring the effectiveness of a specific service based on individual customer types, and the strength of her analysis lies in its ability to match the heterogeneous needs of both customers and service providers. Further, she studies the classification of students into types based on the critical thinking skills, and the modelling for improvement of English abilities of elementary school students based on the analysis of log data of learning process.
