Dr. Brad Cox

Associate Professor, Michigan State University

Founder, College Autism Network

I study postsecondary education with a focus on autism, neurodiversity, and student success. My work bridges rigorous research, inclusive teaching, and applied projects that improve higher education practice and policy. I also develop tools, processes, and protocols to leverage technology (including AI) to improve efficiency, accuracy, and clarity of data analysis.
