About

Michael Paraskevas is a leading voice at the intersection of cyberphysical systems and K–12 education, pioneering how tangible technologies like robotics, drones, and augmented reality can transform science learning. His most-cited work, "Cyberphysical Systems in K–12 Education" (2022, 5 citations), establishes a foundational framework for integrating these interactive tools into classrooms, arguing that hands-on engagement with programmable hardware and mixed-reality environments deepens students’ understanding of complex STEM concepts. Paraskevas’s key contribution lies in bridging the gap between advanced engineering and pedagogical practice: he demonstrates that cyberphysical systems—once reserved for university labs—can be scaled for younger learners, fostering computational thinking and real-world problem-solving skills. His research anticipates a future where science labs are not just physical spaces but hybrid ecosystems blending drones, sensors, and immersive simulations. Though early in his career, Paraskevas’s work is already shaping curriculum design and educational technology policy, positioning him as a critical thinker in the movement to make STEM education more interactive, accessible, and aligned with the technological realities of the 21st century.
