Brief bio 

​​

My research focuses on applications and theorizing of emerging technologies in learning, within human-centered frameworks.

​

I hold a joint appointment as Assistant Professor of Artificial Intelligence 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). 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'm still affiliated with SLATE as Senior Researcher and Research Fellow at the Transformative Learning Technologies Lab (TLTL), Columbia University. I 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.
