Research summary
AI-generated

Sean Brophy works in engineering education, focusing on how students learn engineering and biomedical engineering concepts and how instructors can design better courses. His work covers challenge-based and problem-based learning approaches, classroom technology tools (such as polling and tablet-based systems), and more recently the use of AI and deep learning to give students personalized feedback and support. Prospective students would likely explore curriculum design, assessment methods, and educational technology applied to engineering classrooms.

Publication output was steady at a low rate through the late 2010s, spiked sharply in 2020 (likely reflecting a batch of conference proceedings), and has since slowed to only a few publications per year.
