Hi! My name is Ashish Hingle!
Pronounced "uh-sheesh"
I am a PhD student in Information Technology in the College of Engineering and Computing at George Mason University (Go Patriots!).
My research interests include education in higher education, engineering education, and student-self efficacy. My interests are influenced by my experiences as a first-generation college student navigating through academia.
I am part of the Technocritical Research on AI, Learning & Society Lab (trailsLAB) at GMU. Currently, I am working on the Mason Tech Ethics Project, an NSF-funded grant exploring student's understanding of ethical thinking in our high-tech world. We use role-play activities as a medium for students to explore different perspectives in everyday actions that have ethical considerations.
In conducting my doctoral work, I have received several merit fellowships and scholarships. I am a Summer Institute for Technology Ethics Fellow (Santa Clara University), ICICLE Educational Fellow working with the ICICLE National AI Institute (Ohio State University), a Program Scholar and an AI and Tech Policy Summer Fellow (George Mason University).
I earned a Master of Science in Business Administration (emphasis in Information Security and Assurance) and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (emphasis in Computer Information Systems) from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Go Broncos!). I was part of the Kellogg Honors College and was awarded the Mercer Business Fellowship through both my undergraduate and graduate programs.
I also earned Associates degrees from Pasadena City College (Go Lancers!).
