Iโm Nimrod (Nim) Dvir, Ph.D.
I am a Mixed Methods Researcher and Lecturer at the University at Albanyโs Massry School of Business, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Business Analytics. My work sits at the intersection of data science and behavioral psychology, where I use computational linguistics and AI-driven modeling to understand and optimize how people engage with digital information.
At a Glance
What I Bring to the Table:
- Applied AI Research: Extensive expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), NLP, and fine-tuning to solve complex organizational problems.
- Evidence-Based Design: A proven track record of collaborating with industry leaders like Costco, Dexcom, and Google to build user-centered, high-impact digital products.
- Education & Mentorship: Deeply committed to pedagogy, I develop and teach graduate and undergraduate courses on Python, Digital Product Design, and Managing IT.
Whether Iโm analyzing "Sticky Words" in a dissertation that earned Distinguished Research honors or mentoring the next generation of tech leaders, my goal is always to enhance business performance through innovative, ethical technology management.
A significant part of my current research, teaching, and collaborative work grows out of my role at the University at Albany. I am a faculty member in the Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics at the Massry School of Business , where my work connects business education, data, technology, and applied research.
I am also affiliated faculty in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology / Informatics at the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity. Together, these academic homes reflect the interdisciplinary nature of my work across information systems, analytics, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and technology-driven decision-making.
