I am a PhD Candidate in the Math, Science, and Learning Technologies program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Education, working under Dr. Ivon Arroyo, Dr. Torrey Trust, Dr. Beverly Woolf, Dr. Betsy McEneaney, and Dr. Francisco Castro.
My research examines the convergence of artificial intelligence, computational thinking, game-based learning, and culture–with a particular focus on how emerging technologies can be meaningfully integrated into K-12 and higher education. My work investigates how AI-driven tools can foster adaptive, learner-centered instructional experiences that are both engaging and equitable.
My scholarship has been featured in leading international conferences and journals including:
IEEE International Conference of Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)
International Conference of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) (PDF Download)
EdTechnica, and
In addition to peer-reviewed research, I actively contribute open-access scholarship on AI in Education and develop interactive STEM tools for learners across age groups.
My work on AI Prompt Literacy has been recognized and featured by academic institutions such as:
University of California, Davis: Gen AI for Teaching, Research and Learning
New York Institute of Technology: Prompt Engineering for Academic Research
I hold a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology Management from Merrimack College and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Computer Science from Osmania University, India.
