Accounting professor, University of Tampa

Dr. Bachman Fulmer

I build software for learning and accounting workflows, research how people make decisions with numbers, and teach accounting to college students. Sometimes all three at once.

Teach

Courses, feedback systems, and analytics that hold up in a real semester.

Research

Judgment and decision-making in accounting — how information gets used (or misused).

Build

Software that survives contact with actual students and real classrooms.

Writing

Notes on AI, accounting, and teaching.

Working drafts and field observations. Nothing polished — just useful.

AI + EdTechFeatured essay

What AI Should Actually Do in Accounting Education

A practical argument for AI systems that improve feedback quality, student agency, and instructor decision-making instead of just automating tasks.

Healthcare AccountingField note

Healthcare Accounting Needs Better Information Architecture

An exploration of how revenue cycle complexity, data flow, and operational visibility can be reframed through better systems design.

Thought LeadershipWorking draft

From Research Design to Product Design

How academic rigor, experimentation, and software prototyping can reinforce each other when building tools for learning and finance.

What I'm building

Side projects with research bones.

I build things the way I'd run a study: find a real problem, form a hypothesis, build something that can fail, and pay attention to what happens. The software and the scholarship feed each other.

Featured buildActive build

StudentInsight

Research-driven development for better student feedback, analytics, and instructional decisions.

A faculty-facing academic intelligence platform designed to turn course data, learning objectives, and feedback workflows into clearer action for both instructors and students.

Learning objective analysis and intervention design
Feedback systems shaped by teaching research
Practical tooling for high-volume student support

How the build works

  • Find the friction. Something that slows good teaching down or makes feedback feel hollow.
  • Turn it into a clear question with a testable answer.
  • Build something small enough to fail fast, real enough to learn from.

ACC202 Practice Engine

Operational

Algorithmic question delivery, explanation tracking, and behavioral learning data combine to support stronger study habits and better instructional insight.

Academic Workflow Systems

In pipeline

A growing set of lightweight systems that reduce admin drag while making room for stronger teaching, sharper research, and more consistent student communication.

Research

Publications and current questions.

A mix of finished work and things I'm still trying to figure out.

AI and healthcare accounting

Current inquiry

Investigating where intelligent systems can reduce friction, improve decisions, and create more transparent accounting processes in healthcare environments.

Judgment and decision-making in accounting

Research foundation

A long-standing research thread examining how people interpret disclosures, process information, and make accounting-related decisions.

Instructional analytics and tailored communication

Applied research

Using classroom data and feedback strategy to build better student experiences at scale without flattening the human side of teaching.

What I study

  • Accounting judgment, disclosure, and technology
  • Tailored communication in accounting education
  • Analytics-informed teaching design
  • Emerging applications of AI in academic and financial systems
