What is my role within CATALPA?
As an educational psychologist and doctoral student in the ATLaS junior research group, I investigate how people learn with digital and AI tools, and how different kinds of guidance and support can improve their learning experiences.
Why CATALPA?
CATALPA offers strong support for junior researchers and an environment where I can develop as a researcher while connecting educational psychology with perspectives from learning technologies and learning analytics. Within the ATLaS junior research group, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of learning in technology-enhanced environments and to the design of support that responds to learners’ needs.
