👋 Hi, I am Jeevan Chapagain.

Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at The University of Memphis

My research, advised by Dr. Vasile Rus with support from the Language and Information Processing (LIPS) lab, lies at the intersection of large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and intelligent tutoring systems - spanning from automated assessment to dialogue-based educational technologies.

Currently, I am developing methods and technologies to automatically assess students' self-explanations and responses during source code comprehension to optimize learning outcomes for programming education. Recently, I worked on exploring the capabilities of LLMs in educational contexts, specifically focusing on programming comprehension tutoring. For details on my background and experiences, please check out my resume.

During my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities like Soccer ⚽, Cricket 🏏, Hiking 🥾, Fishing, Camping 🏕️ and playing Guitar 🎸.
