Beyond Correction: How AI Coaching Builds Critical Thinking in Scientific Writing
In the age of generative AI, where tools can write entire essays in seconds, a paradox has emerged in education: while producing text has never been easier, understanding the craft of writing is at risk of being lost. Reflecting on this, I have developed the Scientific Writing Coach—not as a tool to write for you, but as a mentor to…
Classroom Activity Designer: A Smarter Way to Plan Engaging Lessons
That Sunday Night Feeling We’ve all been there—Sunday evening, staring at Monday’s lesson plan. You know the content inside and out, but the spark is missing. How do you make the water cycle exciting for the third time this semester? How do you explain photosynthesis without losing half the class? I’ve been there too. That’s…
My AI Gave a 39/50 Score to Gibberish
We stand at the cusp of a revolution. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic fantasy; it’s the engine of our present, promising to optimize everything from medical diagnoses to the very code that builds our digital world. But in our rush to embrace this new power, we often forget that we are dealing with…
My Research Struggle: How I Built the Tool I Wish I’d Had
As a bioinformatician, I remember the exact research question that started my journey: “Can we predict the function of hypothetical proteins from the human genome using only computational methods?” The problem was, I had no clear road map. My first year and a half felt less like a scientific investigation and more like a technician’s…
From a Single Formula to a Universe of Analogies: The Story of the Physics Fields Solver
Every student of physics has had that “aha!” moment. It’s the instant you realize that the formula for the gravity of a planet looks suspiciously like the one for the electric field of a particle. You sense a deeper pattern, a hidden unity in the laws of nature. This project began with a simple goal:…
Tired of Buggy AI-Generated Code? Here’s the Solution.
I spent over a week staring at my screen, trapped in a loop. My idea was crystal clear: a police and thief chase simulation on a map. Simple, right? The police car accelerates, the thief runs at a steady pace, and they both follow the roads. But turning that “simple” idea into working code felt…
Collatz Conjecture: 2. Why I Wish I Had This Tool 20 Years Ago
In my last post, I shared how I used AI to explore the strange “mirror world” of negative integers in the Collatz Conjecture. Today, I want to talk about why I built this visualization app in the first place. The Pen and Paper Struggle Back in 1996, and later during my PhD research, my “computer”…
Collatz Conjecture: 1. Breaking the Collatz Loop- A 28-Year Journey with AI
It started in 1996. I was in the final year of my B.Sc., reading a journal called Resonance, when I saw a math problem that looked deceptively simple. It was the Collatz Conjecture. Five years later, after finishing my Masters in Physics, I was looking for a PhD topic and remembered that old puzzle. I…
