My research addresses why and how students learn on and offline. A considerable portion of my recent work is focused on interest development within and across formal education (with and without educational technology). I have a longstanding (20 years), personal interest in the potential role of Bots within student learning. My recent empirical work looks at how they might fit into students' classroom experiences through existing school curricula (Qian et al., 2023). As bots expand their presence throughout education, a more comprehensive model is necessary. In a recent position paper, I proposed that basic psychological needs (competence and relatedness) frame co-piloting (human-AI) instruction, which is certain to dominate education in the years to come (Fryer, 2023). Everything my lab works on is carefully organized and presented here: Motivation2Learn.com

This is a 4th-year Ph.D. student in the Electronic and Computing Engineering (ECE) Department of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I am supervised by Prof. Ming Liu Before joining HKUST, I received my bachelor's degree in Mechatronics from Zhejiang University. My research interests lie in image-based 3D perception, 3D object detection, monocular depth prediction, autonomous driving, robotics, etc. During my Ph.D. study period, I participate in the deployment of the first commercial autonomous logistic vehicle Hercules. During the research period, I also gather experience in server management for the lab. In my leisure time, I enjoy spending my time in language learning.

I am Ahmad Deeb, a postdoctoral fellowship at Khalifa University since June 2022 and working on the dynamics of biomembranes of red blood cells in blood flow. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanics from La Rochelle University-France and Applied Mathematics from Lebanese University in 2015. I was an assistant professor for two years at La Rochelle University teaching courses for mechanical and civil engineering students. Since 2017, I have worked on 4 (including the present) different projects as a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to developing numerical tools for problems in mechanics, fluid mechanics, and civil. I am interested in employing tools in Artificial intelligence to propose solutions for problems in civil engineering issues for instance hysteresis phenomenon. Recently, I proposed three novels processes that helped engineers to overcome some issues, namely a model based on axisymmetry to predict the hysteresis phenomenon for building materials, a variant technique of PGD that uses the Taylor series expansion and Pade approximant for nonlinear equations, and a technique to produce an error estimate of the numerical solution obtained by a basic numerical scheme using composition technique. I have an interest in developing numerical methods to enhance controlling tools in robotics, especially in quadrotor dynamics.
