AI for Student Support

Worked with Dr. Gregorio Toscano-Pulido to help develop the concept for an AI-powered university chatbot that could recognize signs of student stress and connect students with appropriate support. Explored how students express emotional difficulty and how a chatbot could respond supportively and guide them toward relevant resources.

Understanding how students ask for help

The project explored how students express emotional difficulty and how a university chatbot might recognize signs of stress in those expressions.

Connecting a response to support

Working with Dr. Gregorio Toscano-Pulido, I helped develop the concept for a chatbot that could respond supportively and guide students toward relevant university resources.

Where the work stands

This was concept-development research. The work described here does not establish a deployed chatbot or validated stress-detection performance.

It connects my interests in Information Science and Sociology: how technology can understand people’s needs and help them find support.
