Research Domains: AI and Computational Literacies, Cultural Intelligence, Modeling Translation, Learning Technologies, Intelligent Tutoring Systems
As a scientist working at the intersection of AI, computing, and human-centered systems, I study how intelligent technologies are designed, adapted, and used in real-world environments. My research examines how algorithms, interfaces, and AI-enabled systems influence human learning, decision-making, communication, and interaction across complex social and technical settings.
A central focus of my work is what I describe as modeling translation: the process of transforming theoretical and computational ideas into operational systems that people can actually use (Model → Implementation). Through system prototyping, mixed-methods research, and human-in-the-loop evaluation, I investigate how adaptive technologies perform under real-world constraints, particularly in areas such as AI-enabled learning technologies, intelligent tutoring systems, computational literacies, and culturally responsive computing. While education serves as a primary application domain, the broader goal of my research is to better understand how AI systems can be designed, evaluated, and implemented responsibly across human-centered environments.
