About

I am a researcher in Learning Technologies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in AI in education, computational literacies, and game-based learning. My work explores how emerging AI technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs), can enhance K-12 and higher education through adaptive, student-centered learning experiences.

My research focuses on Prompt Literacy, AI-integrated instructional design, and game-based learning environments that support computational thinking. I have contributed to the development of AI-enhanced math tutoring systems, culturally responsive game design frameworks, and studies on AI’s role in education. My work has been published in EdTechnica, NCTM, and proceedings from international conferences on AI and learning sciences.

With a background in physics, computer science, and instructional technology, I develop interactive learning environments that blend AI, pedagogy, and digital tools to advance STEM education. My goal is to bridge AI research and educational practice, ensuring that technology supports meaningful and equitable learning experiences.
