About Me

I am visiting Post-Doctoral researcher at Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at Carnegie Mellon University. Also, I am an Assistant Professor in the Instructional Technologies at Hakkari University. My current research interests are AI applications in education, education data mining, human-computer interaction and educational games.

In 2016, I received my PhD in Instructional Technologies at Middle East Technical University. In my dissertation research, I investigated the educational use of virtual 3D environments. While doing my PhD, I was teaching and research assistant at the same department.

Before starting PhD, I was working in industry as full-stack web developer and instructional designer.

You can find me on LinkedIn and Twitter. If you want to email me, just say Hi! at contact@menafgul.com
