PhD Researcher · George Mason University
Exploring the intersection of educational theory and artificial intelligence to support deeper, more meaningful learning.

Research Focus
How can we align established educational pedagogy with AI-driven learning? This research investigates metacognitive support systems and theory-grounded frameworks that bridge the gap between how humans learn and how AI teaches.
About
I am a PhD researcher in the Information Sciences & Technology department at George Mason University, where my work sits at the crossroads of learning science, cognitive theory, and artificial intelligence.
My research focuses on the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) framework — examining how learners plan, monitor, and reflect on their own cognition — and how AI systems can be designed to support and scaffold these metacognitive processes in meaningful, theory-grounded ways.
I am passionate about making AI-powered learning tools that are not just technologically impressive, but pedagogically sound and genuinely transformative for learners.

Research Pillars
Examining how classical learning theories — Zimmerman's SRL model, Flavell's metacognition — can inform the design of AI tutoring and adaptive learning systems.
Investigating how AI can prompt learners to think about their own thinking — fostering self-awareness, planning, and reflection throughout the learning process.
Bridging the gap between instructional design principles and AI implementation to ensure educational technology is both effective and pedagogically responsible.
