Jason Bernard
Jason Bernard is a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University supervised by Dr. Ranil Sonnadata. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Saskatchewan in 2020, a M.Sc. in Information Systems from Athabasca University in 2016, and a B.Sc. with honors in Computer Science from Bishop's University in 1995. His research has focused on modelling and simulation using artificial intelligence in different research areas; however, lately in computational biology. Lately, he has been working on generalized algorithms (that can work across different problems) to infer models of natural processes solely from data about the process using artificial intelligence. He is also interested in technology enhanced learning especially in the context of medical education. He has been awarded several prestigious awards such as the NSERC Alexander Graham Bell CGS/D, Excellence in Research award, the Alberta Innovates Technology Futures graduate student scholarship, and was twice recognized for providing outstanding technological leadership while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.
He is a review editor for Frontiers in Articial Intelligence, and has been on the programming committee for the European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning since 2014. He is a regular reviewer for conferences and journals involving technology enhanced learning, and artificial intelligence.
