In particular, his research focuses on Deep Reinforcement Learning, Unsupervised and Semi-supervised Anomaly Detection methods, and Online Risk and Safety analysis applied to Air and Marine vehicles as well as Smart Buildings. His work, in conjunction with Honeywell Technical Center and NASA Ames, led to the <strong>NASA 2011 Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate Technology and Innovation Group Award for Vehicle Level Reasoning System and Data Mining methods to improve aircraft diagnostic and prognostic systems<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 20.4pt;background: white;margin: 11.25pt 0in 11.25pt 0in\">A second research area\u00a0involves\u00a0developing intelligent open-ended learning environments focused on learning and instruction in STEM + CS domains. He has developed innovative learning analytics and data mining techniques for studying students\u2019 learning behaviors and linking them to their metacognitive and self-regulated learning strategies. More recently, he has been analyzing multi-modal data from augmented reality training environments to study individual and team performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 20.4pt;background: white;margin: 11.25pt 0in 11.25pt 0in\">Prof. Biswas&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0research has been supported by funding from the Army, Navy, NASA, NSF, DARPA, and the US Department of Education.
