Postdoctoral researcher in mathematics education with interests in communication, disciplinary literacy, and eye-tracking
I am a researcher in mathematics education with a particular interest in the relationships between communication, literacy, and mathematics learning. My research focuses on how people read, interpret, and make meaning from complex texts, where content is conveyed through both written language and mathematical symbols and visualisations. A central aim of my work is to understand how mathematics education can contribute to the development of students’ disciplinary literacy.
My academic background spans engineering, structural biology, and educational science, and I hold PhDs in both structural biology and subject-specific education. This interdisciplinary perspective has shaped my approach to research and fostered a strong interest in combining theories and methods from different fields to address complex questions related to texts, reading, and learning.
In my research, I frequently use eye-tracking to investigate reading processes and the relationship between reading behaviour and comprehension. I am particularly interested in how qualitative analyses of eye-movement data can contribute to greater understanding of learning, cognition, and development.
