About me:

I am an assistant professor in the Center for Education Technology (CET) at IIT Jodhpur. I completed my PhD in Educational Technology from the Centre for Educational Technology at IIT Bombay. My research lies at the intersection of education, technology, and design, with a focus on the following broad areas: Learning Analytics (LA) for Teachers, Teacher Education (TE), and Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). I take a pragmatic worldview and primarily use mixed methods, user-centered and co-design methods, qualitative and statistical analysis. My research broadly encompasses the following aspects:

• Designing effective ways for teachers to integrate technology and design approaches into the teaching-learning process

• Exploring the integration of AI as a pedagogical partner in teaching and teacher learning

• Designing and evaluating analytics to close the feedback loop for learners and teachers across teaching-learning settings

• Examining how teachers’ beliefs, values, and cultural contexts shape their pedagogical decision-making when using Learning Analytics (LA) tools

• Leveraging multimodal data to conduct process-centered investigations of learning in video-based environments
