Aarjan Ghimire

I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Victoria with experience in software development for community uplifting, student education, and service business.

My academic work lies at the intersection of computing education and collaborative software engineering. With a foundation in software development, I explore design thinking in settings that examine the different constraints in design decisions.

My current research focuses on applying design thinking principles to study and innovate student support systems, centered on the development of Mathiné, an academic management platform.

Research Projects

Exploring Experiential Learning Through Community Engagement in Nepal

Examining how community-engaged, cross-cultural technology projects shape student learning and social impact in Nepal’s university environment.

Design Thinking for Self-Regulated Learning (Mathiné)

We are addressing the cognitive overload caused by the fragmented digital ecosystem in higher education. By prototyping tools like “Mathiné,” we aim to streamline academic task management and improve student self-efficacy through centralized task breakdown and time-boxing.
