Gamze Sökücü is a visiting researcher at the Chair of Human-Centered Technologies for Learning (HCTL) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and a PhD candidate in Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) at Middle East Technical University (METU), Türkiye, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Erkan Er. She holds BA, MA and PhD (ABD) degrees in English Language Teaching. Her doctoral research at METU, funded by TÜBİTAK, investigates AI-driven feedback mechanisms to support second language (L2) learning and foster self-regulated learning in digital environments.
