Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output Undergraduate psychology teaching, postgraduate work in philosophy of mind, focus on AI-human collaboration, and the APA’s 2026 trends
In my current work at the College, I integrate undergraduate psychology teaching with my postgraduate research in the philosophy of mind to help students explore how human cognition, identity, and behavior are evolving in an era of rapid technological change. My scholarship and instruction increasingly focus on AI-human collaboration, a theme that resonates strongly with the American Psychological Association’s 2026 trends, including neuroinformatics, ethical brain based prediction, human-machine interaction, digital therapeutics, and the shifting of public role of psychology. By connecting classical questions about consciousness and agency with contemporary developments in psychological science and emerging technologies, I aim to prepare students to think critically, ethically, and creatively about the future of mind, behavior, and collaborative intelligence.
