Macao Polytechnic University

 

I am currently supervising several doctoral students in the field of educational technology (e.g., AI and XR). These students come from diverse backgrounds, including biology, computer science, languages, mathematics, art design, and more, and all show great promise and brilliance in their work.

​

I am particularly interested in potential candidates with a background in computer science or with extensive industry experience. Fluency in Korean would be an added advantage for potential candidates looking to join my team. See the program here.
