About

Juho Leinonen is a computing education researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence, programming pedagogy, and human-computer interaction. He has emerged as a significant voice in the rapidly evolving conversation around generative AI's transformative impact on computing education, with his landmark 2023 paper "The Robots Are Here: Navigating the Generative AI Revolution in Computing Education" accumulating an impressive 310 citations — a testament to its timeliness and scholarly resonance. This work examines how large language models (LLMs) capable of generating and interpreting source code are fundamentally disrupting how programming is taught and learned, raising urgent questions for educators worldwide. Earlier in his career, Leinonen explored human-robot interaction and speech recognition for under-resourced languages, including pioneering work connecting Sami-speaking robots to indigenous language resources — reflecting a consistent interest in making technology more inclusive and linguistically diverse. His trajectory from speech interfaces to AI-driven coding tools reveals a researcher attuned to how emerging technologies reshape human communication and learning. Students and educators grappling with AI's role in the classroom will find Leinonen's scholarship both practically grounded and forward-looking.
