Hi, I’m Arif!
I am a PhD student in the Computer Science department at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a focus on computing education research and human computer interaction, advised by Dr. Katie Cunningham.
I’m interested in having a better understanding of
- how students learn programming 💻
- what obstacles they face and how we can address these to broaden participation in CS 🌍
- how we can design technologies to aid their learning process 📚
