Interview with Benyamin Tabarsi: Computing education and generative AI

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. In this latest interview, Benyamin Tabarsi tells us about his research at the intersection of generative AI and computing education. We find out more about what he's investigated so far during his PhD, what is particularly interesting about this research area, and what inspired him to undertake a PhD in the field. I'm a computer science student at North Carolina (NC) State University, and my research focuses on computing education and generative AI. I've always been passionate about finding ways to make learning easier for students and teaching more efficient for instructors, especially in computer science.
