Research Summary

My research endeavors primarily highlight three academic passions: (1) designing innovative and inclusive learning technologies for underprivileged and vulnerable populations, (2) measuring the learning experience through a multidimensional lens, and (3) working with pre-service teachers on technology adoption with a focus on AI in education. Methodologically speaking, my work often applies mixed methods approaches.
