Improving AI for Education in the ChatGPT Lab

Berkeley, CA

Apr 14, 2026

A research and product design exploration into how students use ChatGPT in real learning workflows: where it helps, where it creates friction, and how interface choices could support deeper thinking.

What I did

  • Interviewed 100+ K-12 and college students about ChatGPT workflows and friction.
  • Hosted a ChatGPT Lab event at UC Berkeley in partnership with the Codex Lab.
  • Turned qualitative research into UI/UX design recommendations.
