While at SEIRI Annweesa worked intensively with Boston University's faculty, departments, and schools to guide project teams on technology-enabled inclusive pedagogy initiatives. Her work also includes codeveloping proposals focused on experimentation with emergent educational technologies. Dasgupta received her Ph.D. in biology education research from Purdue University. Her dissertation was centered on the design of assessments that explore student difficulties in thinking about biology experiments. Previously, Dr. Dasgupta was a lecturer at Niagara University in Buffalo for undergraduate biology courses for majors and non-majors. She also gained some postdoctoral experience with engineering education at Purdue University. She worked on the STEM+C project, which focused on enhancing STEM engagement and computational thinking (STEM+C) for K-2 grade students by developing connections across formal and informal learning environments.
