Research Interests

During my PhD I investigate new ways to tailor the individual learning experience using online educational games. At the CBCD I’m conducting lab studies with primary-school children where I use techniques such as eye- and mouse tracking to measure how individual differences in student’s learning and strategy use impact the learning cycle and how we can personalise the instruction and feedback accordingly. In collaboration with the company Oefenweb in Amsterdam I will attempt to implement these findings in their adaptive online learning environment using advanced statistical methods, making use of their over 100.000 active participants within and outside schools.  

My PhD project is part of the INTERLEARN European Industrial Doctorate programme and it has received funding from the European Unions’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement no. 721895.
