About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Learning Technologies in the Department of Learning Sciences at Georgia State University. I previously held a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing and earned my Ph.D. in Learning Sciences from Vanderbilt University's Peabody College, where I was part of the Space, Learning & Mobility Lab. My work combines learning sciences, information visualization, and computer science to examine how people learn in relation to the physical environment and advance AI/data science education. Current initiatives address visualization tool design, data literacy pathways, civic data engagement, technology ethics instruction, and teacher professional development. My work has received awards from the computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), computer-human interaction (CHI) and learning sciences communities. A California native and father of two, I hold a B.A. in Architectural Studies from Middlebury College and an M.Ed. from Vanderbilt.
