Research Area(s):
- Computer/Mobile Assisted Language Learning (CALL/MALL)
- Generative AI and creative processes
I just moved to Hong Kong from San Diego, California. In the USA, I worked on multi-year research and development grants related to CALL and MALL, focusing on online assessment of second languages. I also published a high-citation paper on mobile learning in college English classes of more than 1000 students (hybrid reaching).
Lately, the use of generative AI in creative writing, music, and art (e.g., drawing & painting) sparked my interest. My team is currently developing an AI platform to teach creative writing, which can be expanded to include more creative art. I hope to further develop my expertise (both technical development and research) in this area with expert colleagues and RPg students.
