Paulo Carvalho

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. My research sits at the intersection of learning science and educational technology, investigating how the cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational processes of learners can inform the design of more effective, practice-first learning technologies. I design, deploy, and evaluate AI-driven adaptive systems and study how to scale them effectively into real classrooms.

My research is funded by the National Science Foundation, IES, Schmidt Futures, the Walton Foundation, and Google.

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.
