Biography

Michael S. Hill, Ph.D. is an assistant project scientist scholar in the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine. He earned his Ph.D. in Education with an emphasis on School Organization and Education Policy at the University of California, Davis. He holds a Master of Arts in Education from Chapman University and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of San Francisco.

With over nine years of experience in urban K-12 education and eight years of experience as an administrator and instructor in postsecondary education, Michael has taught in a range of educational settings and at multiple levels in both traditional and online formats. He has taught at UC Davis, CSU Long Beach, University of Massachusetts Global, University of the Pacific, and American River College.

Michael's work focuses on policy and program evaluation in postsecondary education with particular interests in technology-mediated instruction and non-traditional and underrepresented students. His dissertation research centered around online and blended learning in open access institutions.  For the past four years, he has been a researcher on an NSF-funded grant investigating student use of a statewide cross-enrollment policy in California under Dr. Rachel Baker and Dr. Brian Sato.

He has traveled extensively in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, co-teaching professional development for Chinese STEM teachers at the Beijing Institute of Education, Chaoyang Branch, and conducting a program evaluation as a Save the Children University Partnership for Education Research (SUPER) Fellow in the Philippines.
