Research Interests

  • Educational Technology and AI-Enhanced Learning

    My research interests focus on the use of artificial intelligence and emerging educational technologies to enhance teaching and learning in higher education. I am particularly interested in the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI-enabled learning environments, including conversational AI and AI-supported learning tools, and in how these technologies can support personalised learning, student engagement, feedback, and the development of higher-order skills. My work also explores the effective and responsible integration of generative AI into educational practice, with an emphasis on translating technological capabilities into scalable approaches that improve learning and teaching.
