How does attention become durable?
Studying the interaction between cognitive load, interface cues and reflective learning habits.
AttentionMemoryLearning
doctoral research in motion
Ideas in orbit.
I build evidence around the questions that sit between human attention, learning science and intelligent interfaces, one hypothesis, dataset and iteration at a time.
02 / profileA research identity
A research identity
with a human center.
My doctoral work combines behavioral experiments, qualitative inquiry and interface prototyping to understand why some digital learning environments sustain attention while others fragment it.
Evidence across methods.
Triangulating controlled studies with interviews and prototype evaluations to connect measurable behavior with lived experience.
