Dr Pierre Naeyaert

Pierre is an education-focused lecturer in the School of Chemistry. His research interests lie at the intersection of chemistry education and artificial intelligence, where he focuses on the development and evaluation of custom-built AI applications. Pierre's work aims to understand how AI can be integrated into chemistry education to optimise learning outcomes.

Pierre completed his PhD at the University of Sydney in 2020, investigating structure-property relationships in novel sodium ion battery electrode materials. He is currently the Second & Third Year Laboratories Director in the School of Chemistry, overseeing lab supervision, safety and innovation.

Curated Chatbots in Chemistry Education: Large Language Models have created new opportunities for innovative learning experiences. This project investigates specialised chatbots with embedded pedagogy capable of facilitating student learning and complementing traditional approaches.

Educator-Facing AI Applications: Educators often struggle with limited time and resources to effectively evaluate student understanding in class. This project aims to address this by developing educator-facing AI applications designed for use in lectures, tutorials, and laboratories. These applications will provide real-time insight into student comprehension.

Enhancing Student Laboratory Experience: Labs are a pivotal component of chemistry education. This project explores innovative ways to improve student perceptions and learning outcomes within senior chemistry labs in the School of Chemistry.
