Joy Lee
The Extended Reality & Eye-tracking (XR/ET) Lab, Leiden University, the Netherlands
Dr. Joy Lee is an assistant professor of Instructional Technology. Her research utilizes eye-tracking and data science to investigate human cognition and technology-enhanced learning based on educational theories (e.g., the Medical Pause, cognitive load). In particular, she has an active interest in using eye-tracking in VR/AR environments and application of AI to performance assessment and learning analytics.
Fred Paas
Dr. Fred Paas is a professor of Educational Psychology at the Department of Psychology, Education, and Child Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and a professorial fellow at both the University of New South Wales and the University of Wollongong in Australia. His research focuses on the development and application of cognitive load theory to design effective and efficient learning environments, integrating contemporary, multidisciplinary scientific insights into the human cognitive and physical systems. He serves as the editor-in-chief of the journal Educational Psychology Review and is a member of the editorial boards of several other prestigious journals, including the Journal of Educational Psychology. He is also a fellow of the American Educational Research Association.
Ali Darejeh
Dr. Ali Darejeh, Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from UNSW, where he is currently a lecturer and academic lead at the CSE immersive technologies lab. With over a decade of expertise in teaching and research, he specializes in the metaverse, AR/VR, brain-computer interfaces, serious games, e-learning, and UI design. Ali's Research Interest Score places him in the top 15% in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) on ResearchGate, attesting to his significant contributions. As the director of a Metaverse project platform for universities, he envisions virtualizing engineering and medical labs, showcasing a fusion of innovation in higher-degree education. Founder of Research Tech Software Solution and Degree Game Studio, his ventures underscore commitment to game-based learning.
Irina Jarvers
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Regensburg University, Germany
Dr. Irina Jarvers is clinical neuroscientist with a focus on child and adolescent mental health. She studied cognitive science at the University of Osnabrueck, delving deeper into experimental and clinical neuroscience during her time at the University of Regensburg. After her Ph.D. on mental state language in toddlers at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich, she is currently working at the Department for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Regensburg, Germany. Her research interests center around identifying risk factors associated with the development of mental health problems in children and adolescents.Particularly, she is interested in the transdiagnostic impact of alexithymia, the difficulty to identify and describe one's own emotions.
Joni Lämsä
Learning and Educational Technology (LET) Lab, University of Oulu, Finland
Dr. Joni Lämsä works as a postdoctoral researcher in the Learning and Educational Technology (LET) research lab at the University of Oulu, Finland. His research focuses on K-12 learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) and socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL), and how SRL and SSRL can be detected and supported in individual and collaborative learning settings by applying advanced, AI-enhanced learning technologies. Joni is also a coordinator of the Center for Learning and Living with Artificial Intelligence (CELLA,https://twitter.com/CELLAresearch), funded by the Jacobs Foundation.
Maybí Morell Ruiz
Educational Technology Group (ETG), Lund University, Sweden
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Cognitive Science at Lund University, focusing on the intersection of technology in education, numerical cognition, and cognitive psychology. I am particularly interested in how digital tools can improve learning processes and cognitive development, with a special emphasis on mathematical comprehension. As part of the INTERM project, I look forward to collaborating with a team that shares a passion for employing technology-enhanced research methods in learning and cognitive sciences.
