Hello everyone,
My name is Hassan, and I’m based in Malta, working as a project manager and modernisation specialist. I have over two decades of experience leading programmes in border management, digital transformation, and institutional capacity development, including serving as a trainer in both soft skills (leadership, decision-making, public speaking, etc.) and technical skills such as document security, profiling, and border investigation.
As PhD candidate, I’m currently researching how AI can drive innovation in education and capacity development within international institutions. My goal is to understand how AI can enhance organisational learning, improve training outcomes, and support institutional transformation. I’m especially motivated by the need to modernise global education systems so they become more adaptive, inclusive, and effective in a world that’s changing faster than ever.
I find this topic both exciting and complex. AI brings enormous potential but also a great deal of uncertainty about how it should be used, measured, and trusted. In a way, I think AI-enabled learning can actually help us better understand AI itself, by revealing how it can be integrated into meaningful educational experiences rather than just seen as a tool.
My research combines post-positivism and phenomenology. From a post-positivist view, I’m looking for measurable evidence of AI’s impact on learning and organisational performance through data and analysis. At the same time, the phenomenological side of my work focuses on the human experience, how educators and learners perceive and adapt to digital transformation. This dual perspective helps me balance quantitative rigour with qualitative insight, capturing both the technical and human dimensions of innovation in education.
