Biography

Marcelo Worsley is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Learning Sciences at Northwestern University. He directs the Technological Innovations Inclusive Learning Teaching (TIILT) lab, which aims to develop pedagogical technological solutions that support learning for diverse populations in hands-on, collaborative environments. His research focuses on promoting equity and advancing society's understanding of how students learn in complex learning environments. Worsley employs multimodal technology in his studies, allowing students to experience learning through various modalities. He utilizes multimodal signal processing and artificial intelligence to examine how student learning is demonstrated across different time scales. Worsley designs multimodal interfaces that enhance inclusivity and deepen student learning while also using multimodal data to support reflection for both students and teachers. His inclusive approach seeks to address historical and contemporary disparities in social, racial, and economic equity through collaboration with teachers, students, community members, and parents, ultimately fostering positive learning ecosystems.
