Major Projects
Project 1: Reaching Across the Digital Divide project
The "Reaching Across the Digital Divide" project, backed by NTIA, aims to bridge the digital gap by utilizing VR technology for STEM education instruction and workforce training. It focuses on developing broadband-accessible infrastructure, aligning curricula with national standards, and fostering workforce development. By offering hands-on, inquiry-based STEM learning experiences, the project ensures equitable access to quality education and cultivates vital digital skills for future workforce readiness.
Project 2: Enhancing computational thinking using Virtual Reality in additive manufacturing Cybersecurity training
The NSF-funded project aimed to strengthen the additive manufacturing engineering workforce, with a specific focus on cybersecurity for 3D printing. It addressed the imperative to educate the upcoming generation of STEM professionals, including engineers and computer scientists, on cybersecurity within additive manufacturing. By incorporating virtual reality (VR) technology into education, the project assisted students in recognizing and mitigating cybersecurity threats in additive manufacturing. The research outcomes offer valuable guidance on integrating VR into engineering education to enhance computational thinking skills and prepare future STEM professionals. These findings have been published in a prestigious journal.
Project 3: Artificial Intelligence in Education
During my doctoral research, I engineered a state-of-the-art data science software application called the Student Academic Success Prediction . This innovative software application is tailored to empower educators, students, and institutions by forecasting students' academic performance. Harnessing the capabilities of data analytics and machine learning, the application accurately predicts students' success and delivers personalized recommendations for enhancement. The outcomes of this project were disseminated through publication in a prestigious academic journal.
