Research
My research explores how different learning environments and designs can support programming education. This includes investigating how students transition from visual programming tools to text-based coding, as well as broader topics like type systems and code generation in AI models. My work focuses on developing tools and methods that enhance learning outcomes and reduce common challenges in programming education.
