About

Lukas Spirgi is a rising scholar in the field of higher education research, with a focused expertise on the intersection of artificial intelligence and student learning. His primary research areas include AI competence in education, the integration of generative AI tools in academic settings, and the behavioral factors influencing students’ adoption of technology for learning. Spirgi’s most notable contribution is his seminal 2024 study, “First-year students AI-competence as a predictor for intended and de facto use of AI-tools for supporting learning processes in higher education,” which has already garnered 105 citations—a remarkable achievement for a recent publication. This work provides critical insights into how students’ perceived AI abilities shape their actual engagement with tools like translators, paraphrasers, and chatbots, offering evidence-based guidance for educators and policymakers. By linking AI competence to both intention and real-world usage, Spirgi has helped bridge the gap between technological potential and pedagogical practice. His research is particularly timely as universities worldwide grapple with the rapid adoption of generative AI, making his findings essential for designing effective support systems that enhance student retention and learning success.
