Paulo Carvalho
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. My research explores how AI can revolutionize learning by creating engaging, practice-first environments. I use data analytics and computational modeling to understand student learning, motivation, and interest and develop precise models that inform better learning experiences. I'm currently investigating how generative AI can empower these practice-focused approaches, boosting engagement and freeing teachers to provide personalized support.
My research is funded by the National Science Foundation, IES, Schmidt Futures, and the Walton Foundation.

If you are wondering how to pronounce my last name, it sounds like karr-vah-you. The “lh” is a consonant that sounds like the ‘ll’ in the english word ‘million’, if you were to really stretch it out.
