Prof. Sahana Murthy

Sahana Murthy is Professor in the Educational Technology interdisciplinary program at IIT Bombay. Her research interest is in developing students' problem-solving, design thinking and inquiry practices in STEM domains via interactive technology enhanced learning environments. Another area of focus is Teacher Use of Educational Technologies, which has led to the design of models and large-scale professional development workshops for for instructors. One such model, the learner-centric MOOC (LCM) model has formed the basis for several online and blended courses on NPTEL and IITBombayX platforms. Before joining IIT Bombay, she was a post-doctoral researcher in Physics Education Research at Rutgers University and MIT, USA. She received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Mumbai, Master’s degree in physics from IIT Bombay, and PhD in physics from Rutgers University.
