“Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and XR technologies to create transformative learning experiences in STEM education.”
I am a Ph.D. student in the Instructional Technology program at the University of Alabama, specializing in the design and development of AI-enhanced virtual reality simulations to advance spatial learning and mastery in engineering education.
As a member of the AIWISE project team led by Dr. Laura McNeill, I contribute to the research and development of an industry-informed AI literacy curriculum designed to equip non-STEM majors with essential workforce competencies. I am also part of the Adaptive Design of Immersive E-Learning Lab (ADIe Lab), headed by Dr. Jewoong Moon, which focuses on immersive learning research and innovation.
With a background in Educational Technology and Media Resource Management, I possess strong expertise in learning experience design, instructional design, and the integration of emerging technologies in educational environments. My passion lies in leveraging artificial intelligence and immersive technologies to create transformative and engaging learning experiences
