Dr. Rania Abdelghani

Dr. Rania Abdelghani is a postdoc at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology, working on the intersection of education, cognitive science, and human-AI interactions. 

Her work focuses on studying curiosity and question-asking mechanisms in students and how these can evolve when interacting with complex systems such as generative AI.
