About Me

Who am I?

Hello, my name is Ali Keramati, and I am a Ph.D. student specializing in Teaching, Learning, and Educational Improvement at the UCI School of Education. I obtained my bachelor’s degrees in Computer Engineering from Univerisity of Tehran in 2024.

Research Interests

My research explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognition, and education. I’m deeply interested in the cognitive evaluation of large language models (LLMs), aiming to assess their interpretability, reasoning abilities, and educational impact. I also investigate brain-inspired architectures for natural language processing (NLP) and examine how LLMs can emulate human reasoning, behavior, and learning processes. Through this interdisciplinary lens, I aim to develop LLM-driven tools that enhance both individual and collaborative learning, while fostering more effective human-AI collaboration in educational contexts.

Other Interests

In addition to my passion for technology, I have a deep love for the arts. From painting and music to movies and theater, I find inspiration in various creative forms. Movies and series captivate me, painting is my outlet for creativity, and music fuels my focus. Last summer, I delved into the world of acting and film direction in a school theater named Tazeh Theater, enhancing my understanding of cinematic storytelling.

As a former and retired soccer player for Esteghlal F.C. U17, I continue my passion for the sport and occasionally join friends on the field.
