I investigate human-AI complementarity in education, aiming to address the pressing socio-educational challenge of preparing people for a future with AI systems that will require a great deal more than the routine cognitive skills currently prized by many education systems and traditional approaches to automation with AI. I am particularly interested in understanding, computationally modelling, and supporting people's ability to learn how to learn and solve complex problems collaboratively. My research is transdisciplinary and encompasses methodologies and theories from the Learning Sciences, Computer Science, and Human-Computer Interaction.

At UCL Knowledge Lab, I manage large-scale research projects, supervise postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, and lead the Design and Use of AI in Education module in the Education and Technology programme. In addition, I am engaged in policy-making activities related to AI in Education as an external expert (including UNESCO, IAEA, and EC external expert groups), part of UCL's Grand Challenges on Transformative Technologies working group, an Editor of the British Journal of Educational Technology and an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction.
