My research interests focus on innovative techniques for teaching statistics, specifically employing artificial intelligence and local open-source models (LLMs) to enhance student support. I aim to integrate these advanced technologies into educational settings to provide personalised and effective assistance for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. By leveraging AI tools and LLMs, I strive to render complex statistical concepts more accessible and engaging, thereby contributing to the development of cutting-edge strategies that support student success in the field of statistics.
