I work in a field called Mathematical aesthetics, questioning what makes mathematics beautiful, and how to impart the aesthetic nature of mathematics to students.
My main research interests have to do with making visible the practice of mathematics to students at different levels. I have worked at the university level, developing innovative videos to teach metacognitive skills. I have also developed a research program on mathematical beauty.
I spent 4 years working at Curiosum science center, creating hands-on activities and a research seminar geared at getting kids interested in science.
Currently I am working on a popular article about the origins of school mathematics. This is a follow-up project for my paper on the history of compactness.
I teach mathematics and didactics to pre-service teachers, from preK to gymnasium.
