Welcome to my Research and Professional Portfolio

As a scientist in education technology and learning sciences, I specialize in the design and study of teaching and learning systems that support STEM education, with a particular focus on computational literacies, mathematics education, and the utility of AI for enhanced instruction. My work spans K–12 and higher ed, using design-based empirical research methods, where I explore how technology can enhance existing instructional practices and improve learning outcomes.

I investigate how intelligent tutoring systems, game-based platforms, and multimodal AI tools can be integrated into educational settings in ways that align with curriculum goals and objectives, and educator and learner needs. My research bridges classroom implementation with institutional planning to support scalable and research-informed decisions.

At its core, my work helps learners and educators make sense of rapidly changing technological landscapes. I build tools, strategies, and frameworks that position education as a driver of thoughtful and informed engagement with AI.

Additionally, I develop interactive STEM education technology for K-12 and higher education, contribute to open access, and support educator development in areas of AI literacy and computational thinking.
