Research Interests
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has emerged as a critical force shaping the future of
work. As industries increasingly adopt AI-driven solutions, college students must be given
opportunities to develop skills that leverage AI to remain competitive in the job market. A
review by Al Naqbi et al. (2024) highlights the exponential growth of GAI in every career
category including the life sciences. GAI skills are no longer optional; they are essential for
employability.
I am interested in how this technological revolution impacts student learning, and am looking
into approaches that investigate at how the development of student’s AI skills influence
motivation, engagement, and educational outcomes. I am also interested in exploring the
development of pedagogical methods that trains students use AI ethically and creatively in their
education.
