About
Jayfus T. Doswell is an educational technologist and computer scientist whose work sits at the compelling intersection of robotics, augmented reality, and STEM education equity. Best known for his pioneering research into mixed-reality training simulations, Doswell developed innovative pedagogical frameworks using LEGO robotics within project-based learning environments at Pace University, demonstrating how hands-on engineering challenges can deepen student engagement and problem-solving skills. His most-cited work, "Robotics In Mixed-Reality Training Simulations: Augmenting STEM Learning" (2006, 13 citations), laid the foundation for integrating immersive technologies into the undergraduate classroom. Doswell has been equally devoted to broadening participation in computing. Through the ARTSI Alliance and a dedicated pre-engineering robotics curriculum, he worked to recruit African American and other underrepresented students into computer science and robotics by connecting the field to students' aspirations for social impact. His concept of the "pervasive virtual instructor" — an AI-driven, wearable augmented reality guide capable of delivering personalized, just-in-time instruction — represents a forward-thinking vision of lifelong, adaptive learning. Collectively, his contributions offer a powerful model for making STEM education both technologically innovative and genuinely inclusive.
