Research Focus
This research explores how conversational AI tools are changing the way we learn, teach and think -- and what this means for our understanding of intelligence and knowledge. Rather than studying it from the outside, I am investigating this by building my own tools and systems, using my experience as both lecturer and student as the starting point.
Key questions include:
- How might AI transform teaching and learning — in my own work as a researcher and lecturer, and in higher education more broadly?
- What shifts can we expect in learning environments as technology evolves alongside social and political change?
- How can playful and speculative design methods help us imagine and build more creative and ethical forms of AI-augmented learning environments?

Upcoming Milestones
- write ethics form for student focus groups re. their LLM uses in research projects due view note
- visually map the projects that I am working on, and how they feed into each other view note
- add all the bots into the learning dashboard (buttons to launch app and activity summaries logged here) view note
- transfer handwritten notes from the Matuschak talk into the system view note
- read the LLM paper by [Karpathy](https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch) as starting point, how might this be (can it be extrapolated to a less scientific approach). view note
