My research interests are broad and eclectic, revolving around investigating the potential of Educational Technology to continuously support and evaluate students’ skill development and conceptual understanding. My research broadly addresses the pressing social-educational challenge of preparing people for the workplace of the future that will require a great deal more than the routine cognitive skills currently prized by many education systems. My research tackles challenges of creating technology and pedagogies that undertake many aspects of learning that go beyond the cognitive to include affect, motivation and metacognition and, much of my work is situated in the mixed methods research paradigm. This work is interdisciplinary and encompasses education, psychology, computer science and HCI. More specifically, I am interested in four main themes of research and welcome PhD applications that broadly relate to these research themes:

- Technology-enhanced learning and teaching in collaborative and project-based learning environments
- Multimodal learning analytics to provide specific, continuous, scalable and timely feedback across the different physical, digital and hybrid spaces in Education, social signalling processing 
- Evidence-informed decision making in designing and implementing Educational Technologies
- Holistic evaluation and support of teaching and learning in online tutoring
