Projects / Research Areas
From an ecological perspective on learning, our research program recognizes the rich, dynamic, and interconnected system where knowledge emerges from interactions between students, knowledge artifacts, digital technologies, as well as their interdependencies.
We focus on designing and investigating the integration of digital technologies within collaborative learning environments, with the goal of supporting productive interactions and knowledge creation in authentic classroom settings.

SynthesisAI: Knowledge Synthesis in Collaborative Learning
A tool driven by GenAI and learning analytics techniques, designed to support knowledge synthesis in collaborative learning
Social Annotation in Educational Practices
We collaborate with instructors across institutions to design and facilitate social annotation activities that enhance students’ disciplinary skills through social reading.
Computational Discourse Analysis
We develop analytical frameworks that leverage NLP, LLMs, and network analysis techniques to capture the multifaceted nature of collaborative discourse.
Acedemic Writing with AI
We propose a pedagogical framework that integrates generative AI and peer feedback throughout academic writing projects, aiming to foster collaboration in which peers and AI contribute in complementary ways.
