Brief bio 

​​

My research - grounded in learning sciences principles and human-centered frameworks - is focused on theorizing about, supporting learning with, and learning about emerging technologies.

​

I hold a joint appointment as Assistant Professor of Emerging Technologies and Learning Sciences at the School of Computing and Information (SCI) and University of Pittsburgh Research Scientist at the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC). I have a secondary appointments at the School of Education and the ISP program. 

 

Prior to joining Pitt, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University College London's Knowledge Lab, UK, and later at the Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE), University of Bergen, Norway. I have also advised MA students at the Learning Sciences Research Institute (LSRI) at the University of Nottingham, UK.

 

I serve as Director of NAPLeS (Network of Academic Programs in the Learning Sciences) and am a founding member of the Learning Sciences Brazil Affiliate of the International Society of the Learning Sciences.

 

I received my PhD in Learning Sciences and Technology Design, along with Education Data Science, from Stanford University. My academic mentor is Roy Pea and here you can learn more about my intellectual lineage.
