I am currently an AI Researcher for higher education, consulting on the strategic integration and ethical application of AI across academic, research, and administrative domains. My global academic leadership spans roles in the United States (California, Florida, and Hawaii), the Middle East (United Arab Emirates and Qatar), and Asia (China), where I have held faculty and senior administrative positions supporting teaching and learning innovation.
I have authored a textbook and an academic anthology, and have published over 150 peer-reviewed articles. I am an accomplished presenter, having delivered hundreds of academic presentations internationally. I hold a B.S. in Oceanography from the Florida Institute of Technology, an M.S. in Environmental Engineering Sciences, and a Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Florida.
My current research centers on how people learn, with a particular emphasis on the integration of emerging technologies—most recently, AI—into educational environments.
