Hello! My name is Blerim.
i am a second-year phd student at harvard university in the education: human development, learning, and teaching program, working with elizabeth bonawitz in the computational, cognitive, and development (cocodev) lab.
i am interested in how children and humans learn, how social factors (such as learning from others, both from humans and machines) shape learning, and how curiosity develops over time.
besides research, i also have years of experience in learning design in stem education.
