Personal profile

Biography

I work as an Associate Professor and Academy Research Fellow at the department of special education. My research interests include students' academic well-being and motivation, with a particular focus on individual developmental trajectories of school well-being (i.e., school engagement and burnout) and mathematics motivation (expectancies, value-beliefs, costs). I am also interested in both the developmental and situational dynamics between school well-being, math motivation, academic performance, and educational aspirations. In my current project, I utilize both longitudinal and situational data.
