My work combines cutting-edge educational technology with pedagogical innovation to support teachers in navigating the challenges of 21st-century education.
As the PI, I lead the Power T/A project, coordinating research activities, managing collaborations with international partners, and supervising doctoral researchers. My role involves designing research frameworks, collecting and analyzing data, and ensuring the successful dissemination of project outcomes through publications, conferences, and stakeholder engagement.
Research Interests:
AI-based tools in teacher education
Educational technology for instructional design
Learning analytics and data-driven decision-making
Professional development and mentorship for educators
Dr. Egle Gedrimiene
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Power T/A project at the University of Oulu. My PhD dissertation examined data- and algorithm-driven technologies in educational decision-making, with a particular focus on ethical and practical implications. My research explores human interaction with data and AI-based technologies in education, addressing themes such as user needs, value tensions, and alignments in technology use, perceived transparency, trustworthiness, and technology acceptance. I have published on topics of learning analytics, AI-based educational tools, and their role in supporting student guidance, decision-making, and responsible practice.
As a postdoctoral researcher in the Power T/A project, I closely collaborate with the project team. I am involved in research work (data collection, analysis, writing), provide support in project management, and dissemination of the project’s results to advance the project’s objectives.

Research Interests:
Human–technology interaction in education
Human agency and decision-making
Ethical use of data and AI in teaching and learning
Alanur Ahsen Dalyanci, M.Sc.
I am the Doctoral Researcher of the Power T/A project. My academic background revolves around two main fields: Early Childhood Education and Psychology, where I focused on the learning and development of young pupils. Having completed both of these programs at the top of my class, I later pursued a master’s degree, where my research interest shifted to the field of AI & Education due to the transformative introduction of AI-based technologies into teaching and learning. Thus, my latest research examined: a) teachers’ perceptions of GenAI technologies in education, b) their actual application of these technologies in their teaching practices, and c) the relationship between these perceptions and use.
As the Doctoral Researcher in the Power T/A project, I actively participate in various aspects of the research process under the guidance of the PI. My responsibilities include executing research designs, assisting in data collection and analysis, and contributing to the writing and presentation of our findings. Additionally, I collaborate with international partners and engage with stakeholders to enhance the impact and reach of our research.
Research Interests:
Developmental Psychology
AI & Teaching-Learning
Teacher Induction and Professional Development
