Hongming (Chip) LI
Hello, I am Chip Li, a Ph.D. student in Educational Technology (EdTech) at the College of Education at the University of Florida (UF), working under the supervision of Dr. Anthony Botelho. I hope that my continued research in this academic field will help support the practice of technology and the future of education.
I have completed two Master of Science degrees in Education: one at Johns Hopkins University, where I focused on exploring the combination of digital age technology and education, and the other at the University of Southampton (UK), where my studies concentrated on educational theory and practical research methods. Before this, I earned my Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education from the Capital Normal University (Beijing, China), with a focus on the intersection of linguistics and education. As an educator, I have served as both a teaching assistant and a research assistant, and I have taught in both urban and rural elementary schools in China.

Research Interests
With over seven years of experience in educational research, I have developed a deep fascination with the intersection of education and technology. Despite technology's growing prominence in modern society, its potential for enhancing education remains largely untapped. My research focuses on leveraging technology to improve teaching methods and learning outcomes. If you are interested in discussing any of these topics, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have provided multiple means of contact above and would greatly appreciate your consideration.
Currently, I am particularly interested in the following areas and welcome collaboration opportunities:
Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining
Machine Learning
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs)
Explainable and Human-centered Artificial Intelligence (XAI / HAI)
Human-computer Interaction
Equity and Fairness in Education
Instructional Design / Educational Gamification and Media / Digital Learning Ecology and Online Learning
My goal is to conduct groundbreaking research that shapes the future of AI-driven education, improves digital literacy and skills development, and expands access to personalized, high-quality learning experiences. Through rigorous investigation and innovative thinking, I aim to push the boundaries of education, empowering learners with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. I look forward to connecting with fellow researchers and practitioners who share my passion for education, technology, and entrepreneurship.
