I work as a doctoral researcher, studying learning and teaching in the natural sciences, particularly in chemistry. I hold a Master of Science degree and am qualified to teach chemistry, physics, and mathematics at the secondary level.

In my doctoral research, I examine university students’ affective experiences related to making mistakes during laboratory work. I am particularly interested in students’ situational engagement and the emotions they experience during learning.

In addition, I coordinate the national research project Learning Pathways in Chemistry and Physics. Our goal is to produce research-based knowledge on how digital pedagogical solutions influence learning in chemistry and physics, as well as students' attitudes in technology-supported instruction. The research focuses on aspects such as emotions during learning, student engagement, the development of learning motivation, the role of mistakes in learning, and the role of experimental work in blended learning environments that combine online and in-person instruction.
