As a previous mathematics teacher, my research interests mainly include STEM formal and informal learning, technology-enhanced pedagogy and teacher professional development. I am particularly interested in issues and innovative practices related to the integration of digital technology into STEM education. For example, I have explored the effects of using apps on primary-aged children's mathematical thinking and mathematics teachers' dialogic teaching approaches with online interactive platforms. I am good at using qualitative research approach and open to learning and employing any new and 'fit-for-purpose' research methods.

I am passionate about developing research-informed educational practices and making changes with practitioners and stakeholders. Design-based research approach has been successfully applied to designing educational interventions, such as a teacher professional development programme incorporating lesson study in China. 

Currently, I am a team member in the international Making Spaces 2 research project which seeks to suppot equitable youth practice with informal makerspaces with practitioners.
