About

Parastoo Baghaei Ravari is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence in education, and social robotics. Her work centers on designing and evaluating intelligent, interactive systems that enhance collaborative and personalized learning. A key contribution is the development of the "Curiosity Notebook," a platform that operationalizes the "learning by teaching" paradigm with conversational agents, allowing for fine-grained analysis of the learning process (24 citations). She has also pioneered the use of adaptive social robots in educational settings, demonstrating that a robot capable of monitoring and encouraging student dialogue can significantly improve teamwork and learning outcomes (14 citations). By engineering systems that are both pedagogically sound and socially responsive, Ravari’s research provides empirical evidence for how AI and robotics can move beyond simple content delivery to foster deeper cognitive engagement. Her work is notable for its focus on the dynamic interplay between human learners and artificial agents, offering a blueprint for the next generation of adaptive, collaborative educational technologies.
