My scholarship sits at the intersection of human-AI interaction, self-regulated learning, and technology-enhanced education. I am particularly interested in how students engage with generative AI tools — and what that engagement means for how we design learning experiences that serve them well.
Human-AI Interaction in Education
How students engage with generative AI tools, including prompt practices, interaction patterns, and the relationship between AI use and academic outcomes.
Self-Regulated & Socially Shared Regulation
The role of self-regulatory processes in learning, and how generative AI may support or disrupt students' ability to monitor and direct their own learning.
Technology-Enhanced Learning
Online and technology-mediated learning environments, AI-assisted writing, and the design of digital tools that support learner success across contexts.
Equity, Access & Nontraditional Learners
How educational technology can expand or constrain access to learning, with particular attention to nontraditional, adult, and military-connected student populations.
Academic Identity & Motivation
Student experience, academic identity formation, and learning motivation in higher education, including how emerging technologies shape students' sense of themselves as learners.
Mixed Methods Research
Methodological emphasis on mixed and multi-methods approaches to educational research, integrating quantitative and qualitative data to address complex questions about learning.
