My name is Mikyung Shin (신미경). I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Special Education at Illinois State University.

• ✨ I am a bilingual (Korean/English) educator and have supported students, families, and communities from diverse backgrounds.
• ⚡I specialize in mathematics, special education, technology, meta-analysis, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and programming languages.
• 🔎 My research interests include mathematics instruction for students with learning disabilities, instructional technology, and teacher preparation programs in special education. I am also interested in investigating the learners’ characteristics and effects of mathematics interventions for students with mathematics learning disabilities, using meta-analyses and big-data analyses.
• 🔭 I’m currently working on projects that include a text mining approach in analyzing text data in the special education fields. I am also investigating the visual and quantitative analysis of studies with single-case experimental designs and continuously developing mathematics apps for students with mathematics learning difficulties and disabilities.
