Nimisha Roy

I am a Lecturer in the School of Computing Instruction (SCI) within the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, where I also serve as Director of Online Undergraduate Initiatives. In this role, I help lead efforts to expand and strengthen online undergraduate computing education at Georgia Tech. I also teach undergraduate and graduate Computer Science courses and serve as an instructor in Georgia Tech’s Online Master of Science in Analytics (OMSA) program.

I received my Ph.D. in Computational Science and Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2021. My doctoral research, funded by the National Science Foundation, combined scientific computing and data-driven methods to study physical systems—work that continues to inform my interest in interdisciplinary problem solving.

My current research focuses on AI in computing education and its applications in infrastructure resilience. I am particularly interested in Generative AI, AI-supported teaching and learning, and preparing students to effectively use AI in computing and software development. My work includes the development and deployment of AI-enabled educational technologies in real-world learning environments.

I’ve advised students at the undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. levels, and my work has been published in over 30 peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and book chapters.
