About me

Dr Srecko Joksimovic explores the symbiosis of human and artificial cognition to understand knowledge processes and their impact on society. More specifically, this entails an understanding of how contextual, social, cognitive, and affective factors influence the abilities of both groups and individuals to develop the necessary skills and competencies for solving complex real-world problems. In so doing, Srecko utilizes and adapts a wide range of methods from machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing, as well as data science and social computing. His research work has brought about new insights into factors that promote effective multiple disciplinary learning and work; and informed the design of tools and... Read more
