Hi! 

I am an engineering educator, learning scientist, and EdTech builder with over 10 years of experience designing curriculum, assessment, and technology-enabled learning ecosystems for STEM. Uniquely, I bridge the gap between academia and industry, drawing on my background as a former Senior Engineer with 6+ years of experience in embedded and electrical systems. During that time, I led the development and implementation of the hardware-in-the-loop testing laboratory for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in Recife, Brazil.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor at Purdue University Fort Wayne. In this role, I coordinate the First-Year Engineering program, aligning multi-section curriculum and instruction while leading hands-on, project-based learning for cohorts of ~150 students per year. My research focuses on the intersection of AI in education, human-AI collaboration, metacognition, learning analytics, and equitable STEM learning.

Beyond the classroom, I have developed award-winning educational technology tools for humanitarian settings, conducting interdisciplinary research and instruction in Jordan and Kenya. I am proud to have received the Young Scientist Award from the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy and the Duncan Fraser Award for Best Paper. Previously, I served as President of the Student Platform for Engineering Education Development and co-founded an award-winning chapter of the Brazilian Automation Society.
