Research Interests

My research interests are into the integration of smart technologies in the event industry, use of gamification to enhance attendee engagement and adoption of sustainable behaviors at the events.

Teaching Interests

I believe that these elements are conducive to student learning :
a) Create an inclusive environment for students.
b)Adopt a participatory and student centered approach.
c) Should be grounded in principles of reciprocity, relevance, and value addedness.
d) Assume the role of a collaborator where students can consult, reflect on their own work, and make modifications before the final submissions.
e)Blended learning through the use of innovative technologies.
f) Emphasize mutual respect, love, and unity both in and out of the learning environment.
