About
Dr. Reuel J. Kulibaba is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of computer science education and music technology. His work focuses on broadening participation in computing by leveraging unconventional, culturally relevant domains to attract students who might not otherwise engage with the field. His most-cited study, "Inspiring Interest in Computing using Music: A Case Study on Students Lacking Prior Music Education" (2023, 2 citations), challenges the traditional reliance on video games and robotics as entry points, demonstrating that music—even for students without formal training—can serve as an equally powerful, and more inclusive, hook. This work represents a significant contribution to broadening participation in computing, offering a replicable model for educators seeking to diversify the pipeline. Dr. Kulibaba’s research is notable for its focus on equity and access, directly addressing the limitation that many CS outreach initiatives inadvertently attract only those already predisposed to the discipline. By centering creativity and self-expression, his approach opens the door for a wider, more diverse cohort of future computer scientists.
