Bridging research, assessment, data, and technology

Dr. Doniyorbek Ahmadaliev holds a PhD in Education Information Science and Technology from Northeast Normal University (China), with more than 15 years across university teaching, research, software engineering, and educational leadership.

He currently serves as Head of Division at the Center for the Development of Education under the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan, where he leads evaluation of learning content, textbooks, multimedia resources, and assessment evidence, and coordinates data-driven analyses for national education decision-making — producing analytical briefs, monitoring indicators, and recommendations for policy stakeholders. He also teaches at Webster University in Tashkent, linking AI and data analytics to operational, tactical, and strategic decision-making.

His research focuses on adaptive educational hypermedia, learner modeling, personalized e-learning, recommendation of learning resources, machine learning applications, and data-driven evaluation of learning systems — converting complex datasets into indicators, reports, and decision support for academic and policy audiences.

The mission: bridge research, assessment, data, and technology to support evidence-informed educational transformation, toward an education system where policy, practice, and innovation are guided by reliable evidence and continuous learning.
