I am an Enterprise Fellow in Education Futures and a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning at the University of South Australia (UniSA). I completed my PhD in educational neuroscience and psychology at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the University of Cambridge. Before joining UniSA, I was a policy analyst with the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills. I study the cognitive, metacognitive, motivational and affective factors that influence students’ learning and academic achievement, with a focus on mathematics education.
