Adrienn Toth

Adrienn Toth is a doctoral student in the Joint Doctoral Program in Learning Sciences offered by ETH Zurich and EPFL since September 2023. She completed her Bachelor’s in International Business Management at Corvinus University of Budapest and HEC Montreal, and her Master’s in Business Information Management with Data Science specialization at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Apart from her studies, she has always worked in the education field, first at a startup and later in a university environment, mainly focusing on content creation and curriculum development.

In her research, Adrienn focuses on the applicability of AI-based tools in the core curriculum of education programs, starting with higher education. More precisely, she would like to understand how students perceive such a tool from the data security and privacy perspective and whether they trust the quality and accuracy of such systems. Building on this, the goal of her project is to get a good understanding of the main obstacles currently standing in the way of the successful integration of technology into education and provide practical recommendations on how this could be improved. She would like to achieve this by using both qualitative and quantitative research methods and involving many different stakeholders who are affected: students, teachers, executives of education institutions, and providers of education technology tools alike.”
