Masoumi is an Associate Professor at the University of Gävle, where his research examines how information and communication technologies (ICT) reshape the conditions for knowledge, learning, and teaching in contemporary society.
He currently leads ICT4Learn, a research group dedicated to investigating how ICT is utilized in, with, and for learning, with a specific emphasis on critical and inclusive perspectives. In a significant recent development, Dr. Masoumi and his colleagues from several Swedish universities were awarded a prestigious grant from the Swedish Research Council to establish a national research school focused on AI in teacher education. This major initiative aims to shape how the next generation of educators understands and utilizes artificial intelligence in the classroom, ensuring future-ready pedagogical practices. Beyond technological integration, Masoumi maintains a strong research focus on students’ digital well-being. His recent empirical work, based on longitudinal studies, provides critical insights into the “twenty-four-seven” availability of digital violence and the ways in which cyberbullying spills over from social media into classroom contexts, shaping students’ learning experiences and developmental trajectories.
