Arthur Galamba is a Senior Lecturer in Science Education at King’s College London and Director of the PGCE Physics programme. He is also a co-founder of Collabits, an award-winning collaborative learning platform accelerated through the King’s College London Start-up Accelerator. Collabits was developed to create more interactive, student-centred learning spaces and to support collaboration, formative assessment and continuity between face-to-face and online learning.

His research explores teacher education, digital and AI-supported learning, and the design of collaborative learning environments. He is particularly interested in how digital technologies can create more participatory and inclusive learning spaces, strengthen formative assessment and feedback, and support student engagement, collaboration and self-regulated learning across face-to-face, blended and online settings. He welcomes enquiries from prospective PhD students interested in artificial intelligence in education, online learning, hybrid education and digitally supported collaboration.

Arthur’s work also examines decolonisation, epistemic justice and education for democracy, particularly within science and physics education. His research considers how established educational traditions shape contemporary teaching practices and how more humanistic, democratic and socially just approaches can inform the teaching and learning of science.

Arthur has led international collaborations in teacher education, including coordinating the STEM Education Hub, a partnership between King’s College London and the British Council Brazil. The Hub supported collaboration between educators in Brazil and the UK and enabled teachers to develop research-informed approaches to science and mathematics education. His longstanding interest in international education also led to an internship with UNESCO in Geneva during his doctoral studies.
