KSU researcher using VR to improve STEM education
January 28, 2026
Preethi Titu spent her adolescence preparing to become a doctor, but from a young age she knew she was more interested in teaching. She enjoyed standing at the front of the classroom teaching small topics to her peers and was praised by her teachers in high school for that skill. Ultimately, all students learn differently, and all teachers teach differently. Now, Titu is using advanced technology to equip future teachers with the skills needed to engage all learners in meaningful scientific discourse.
