Géraldine Fauville
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Virtual Human Interaction Lab, Stanford University
Géraldine has one Masters in Marine Biology, another in Education and Information Technology, and a PhD in Education. Her research focuses on how digital technologies can improve marine science education and promote ocean literacy.
Digital technologies can support learning about the ocean by taking learners into the depths of the ocean to help them visualize complex phenomena that are too big, too small, or too far away in time or space to observe or easily understand.
She is currently a Knut och Alice Wallenberg Stiftelse Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University investigating the impact of virtual reality on environmental and marine education.
