Research

As a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher my research focuses on designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating digital learning technologies and environments, including emerging technoloiges, such as Virtual Reality. My research integrates interaction design, computer-supported cooperative work, and learning sciences. In particular, I am interested in investigating how technological solutions can be developed to address educational problems pragmatically, especially those with implications concerning inclusion, equity, diversity, and socially just practices. 

Creating a usable, learnable, and sustainable system for diverse stakeholder groups in a distributed collaborative environment is a socio-technical process, which requires considering both the technological and social relationships of stakeholders and technologies embedded within larger organizations. Understanding this complexity drives my research. 

To date, I have made substantial contributions to educational technology projects involving:

1. the design, development, implementation, and formative evaluation of usable and user-friendly data intensive technologies for scientific research in the fields of healthcare and bioinformatics
2. developing user-centered design frameworks to examine how learners of all age groups interact and collaborate in digital learning environments utilizing digital technologies, including extended reality.
