In Summer 2026, I was honored to have the opportunity of being a visiting researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) , a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston. I worked at the Center of Education Research, Technology, and Innovation (CERTAIN) research center in the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care, & Pain Medicine , under the supervision of Dr. Jacqueline Hannan . CERTAIN research center focuses on educational research aimed at understanding and improving how healthcare professionals learn and train. CERTAIN combines educational research with emerging technologies to develop and evaluate new approaches to medical training and assessment. Its work includes both simulation-based training and clinical skills development.  A particularly exciting aspect of the CERTAIN’s work is its use of realistic training environments. Residents participate in virtual reality activities, simulation-lab sessions, and in-situ training conducted directly in o...

  This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a visiting student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) , where I worked in the Learning, Innovation, and Technology Lab (LIT Lab) supervised by Dr. Bertrand Schneider . The LIT Lab investigates how people learn and collaborate in learning environments. They use advanced sensing technologies and data-driven methods to measure attention, behavior, and interactions. HGSE is a leading institution dedicated to advancing educational research and innovation through interdisciplinary approaches that combine education, technology, and learning sciences. The internship provided an opportunity to explore new methods, tools, and measures used to study collaborative learning, while also contributing to a new research project.  My internship was an eight-week program, and during my visit I collaborated closely with Dr. Schneider on the project “Exploring the trade-offs between wearable eye-tracking and computer vision technol...
