Hello, I'm Matin /muh-TEEN/
Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at UC San Diego
Advised by Nadir Weibel
Affiliated with Human-centered eXtended Intelligence (HXI) and the Design Lab
My broad research interest lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), and educational technology. My current focus is to enhance remote learning by leveraging user context and providing timely AI and peer support.
I received my B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia (UBC) with a Computer Science major and Commerce minor. During my degree at UBC, I was advised by Dongwook Yoon and Sid Fels and affiliated with ViDeX and DFP.
In my spare time, I play fingerstyle guitar, hike national parks, and take sunset photos!
