I am the Doctoral Researcher of the Power T/A project. My academic background revolves around two main fields: Early Childhood Education and Psychology, where I focused on the learning and development of young pupils. Having completed both of these programs at the top of my class, I later pursued a master’s degree, where my research interest shifted to the field of AI & Education due to the transformative introduction of AI-based technologies into teaching and learning. Thus, my latest research examined: a) teachers’ perceptions of GenAI technologies in education, b) their actual application of these technologies in their teaching practices, and c) the relationship between these perceptions and use.
As the Doctoral Researcher in the Power T/A project, I actively participate in various aspects of the research process under the guidance of the PI. My responsibilities include executing research designs, assisting in data collection and analysis, and contributing to the writing and presentation of our findings. Additionally, I collaborate with international partners and engage with stakeholders to enhance the impact and reach of our research.
Research Interests:
Developmental Psychology
AI & Teaching-Learning
Teacher Induction and Professional Development
