Nandini Asavari Bharadwaj

I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of AI, education, and child development. I recently successfully defended my PhD in learning sciences in the Department of Educational & Counselling Psychology, McGill University and I am currently a researcher (part-time) at Everyone.AI (USA).

My research interests are in educational technology, digital learning environments and artificial intelligence in education. My interdisciplinary research investigates the impact of digital assistant (E.g. Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri) use on children’s theories of artificial minds. Specifically, how children interact and learn with digital assistants, how they perceive technology affordances and how these perceptions impact understanding of intelligent technologies.

Additionally, I have professional experience in secondary school teaching and organizational learning in Bangalore, India
