dr. C. Dasgupta (Chandan)

Assistant Professor

About Me

Chandan Dasgupta is interested in designing technology-enhanced learning environments for supporting collaborative learning and uncertainty management in STEM. He completed his Ph.D. in Learning Sciences from University of Illinois at Chicago (USA) and Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech, USA). He has worked as a Postdoctoral scholar for two years at Purdue University in the Computer and Information Technology department. Most recently, he worked at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay as an Assistant Professor in the Educational Technology department for five and half years.
