With a joint appointment, Atsusi Hirumi (2C) serves in multiple roles at the University of Central Florida. He is a professor and teaches in the Department of Learning Sciences in the College of Community Innovation and Education and in the Department of Medical Education in the College of Medicine at UCF.

Hirumi’s rich and diverse background began during his formative years, which he spent in Nairobi, Kenya. His parents were research scientists and cell biologists. One day, his father came home from his position at Cornell University and asked his family, How would you like to move to Africa?

Hirumi’s first role in education was as a high school biology teacher in Lafayette, Indiana. While there, he found Midwesterners to be some of the best people in the world and that he was not a fan of cold weather.

Hirumi earned a B.S. degree in biology at Purdue University, a master’s degree in Educational Technology at San Diego State University, and a Ph.D. in Instructional Systems at Florida State University. His research concentrates on the design and sequencing of e-learning interactions.
