Bio

With a Ph.D. in Technology-Enhanced Learning and Digital Pedagogy and more than 15 years of experience in education, academic coordination, and research management, I have developed a strong expertise at the intersection of teaching, research, and digital innovation.

I have taught and conducted research at several academic institutions, including the University of Munich, the University of Passau, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Applied Management. Throughout these roles, I have remained actively engaged in academic research while also contributing to program development and international collaboration.

My research focuses on digital learning and education, with a particular interest in technology-supported teaching, collaborative learning, and digital transformation in higher education. I have led and contributed to a number of international research projects and have published in leading journals such as Frontiers in Education and the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning.

In addition, I regularly present at major national and international conferences in the field of Learning Sciences, where I share insights on digital pedagogy, innovative learning environments, and the role of technology in enhancing student engagement.

By bridging research and practice, I remain committed to advancing high-quality teaching and fostering digital transformation in education, while continuing to support international collaborations and impactful research.
