Reserach Activities

Research Focus

My research is dedicated to innovating AI education, specifically tailored for business students without an extensive programming background.. Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities this demographic presents, I am wokring on integrating Extended Reality (XR) into the curriculum. This immersive approach not only enhances comprehension but also makes the learning process more engaging. A further significant facet of my research involves the use of generative AI systems as educational assistants. These systems, informed by EEG measurements, monitor cognitive load during learning, ensuring content and exercises are tailored to optimize understanding without overwhelming the student. My goal is to not only make AI more accessible to learners but also to utilize its capabilities to create a more enriched, personalized, and effective learning journey.
