What is my role within CATALPA?

As an educational scientist I am involved in the projects AI.EDU Research Lab, researching the use of AI technology for educational purposes, and the joint project IMPACT wherein our team works on the implementation of Learning Analytics applications cooperating closely with stakeholders and network partners.

Why CATALPA?

The research cluster provides me with great network and ample opportunity to reflect upon scientific work in progress, easing the entrance into the scientific community as a junior researcher. I aim to contribute to the implementation of Learning Analytics in higher education institutions and to explore uses of AI in educational settings in the future.
