Vincent Aleven is an Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA). He has over 20 years of experience in research and development in intelligent tutoring systems, based on cognitive theory and self-regulated learning theory.

Tutors built with these tools have been used successfully at many levels of education and in many task domains. He has over 200 publications to his name. He is co-editor of the International Handbook on Metacognition in Computer-based Learning Environments (Azevedo & Aleven, 2013). He and his colleagues and students have won 7 best paper awards at international conferences. He is the co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence in Education.
