My research revolves around the dynamics of development, learning, and teaching within the diverse landscape of school environments. I have a particular focus on understanding inclusion and exclusion processes stemming from factors like origin and gender, examining how these dynamics shape educational settings and influence developmental trajectories.

In the realm of interdisciplinary research, my work integrates insights from educational psychology, cross-cultural psychology, empirical research in education, and studies on instructional design in teaching and learning. This multidisciplinary approach allows me to explore the nuanced interplay of various factors impacting educational experiences.

In my teaching endeavors, my goal is to expose students to key empirical research in education and psychology. I aim to empower them to cultivate their own research agendas and equip them with the tools to address heterogeneity in school settings through the application of inclusive and equitable teaching practices. By fostering a deep understanding of the complexities within educational contexts, I aspire to nurture a generation of educators who are not only informed by current research but also capable of contributing meaningfully to the ongoing discourse in the field.
