Reimagining Education through Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence
Conducted research and drove innovation in educational technologies, focusing on VR and AI applications to enhance learning experiences
OVERVIEW
At ErasmusX, an innovation unit at Erasmus University Rotterdam, I worked at the intersection of scientific research and educational innovation. My focus: the use of Virtual reality (VR) in skill development and Generative AI in higher education.
OUTCOME
- Led a workshop and participated in a panel discussion at Explore 2024, tackling the ethics of GenAI use in education.
- Conducted a study that mapped a student’s journey from high school to university, uncovering key gaps through staff and student interviews.
- Evaluated how VR shapes soft skills, and how it compares to other forms of soft skill learning.
- I published three conference papers—presented at ICERI 2024 and END 2024.
