Research

Research at the professorship focuses on three interconnected areas: design technologies for STEM learning, learning spaces for making and building, and assessing creative learning.

How can we foster young people’s creativity while designing with AI?
Design technologies for STEM learning investigates how emerging technologies, including AI, digital fabrication, and mixed reality, can support creative, inclusive, and meaningful STEM learning. Through participatory and design-based approaches, we develop new educational tools and learning experiences for diverse learners.

What makes construction labs and makerspaces inclusive?
Learning spaces for making and building researches how physical and digital learning environments shape creativity, collaboration, and sustainability. This includes the design of makerspaces, mobile learning infrastructures, and educational experiences that broaden participation in STEM.

Can novel assessment designs eliminate gender differences?
Assessing creative learning develops new approaches for documenting and understanding learning through design and making. This research aims to capture learners' creative processes and learning outcomes.
