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 and consulting spans roles in the United States (California, Florida, New Jersey and Hawaii), the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar), Asia (China, Malaysia and Pakistan), Europe (Netherlands, UK, Romania and Turkey) and New Zealand, where I have held faculty and senior administrative positions supporting teaching and learning innovation.
I have authored a textbook and published over 150 peer-reviewed articles. 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 research centers on how people learn, with an emphasis on the integration of AI into educational environments.
