Research

Scientifically, I focus, among other things, on reasoning and argumentation in upper secondary education, as well as on the development of interest in students and prospective teachers when engaging with applied mathematics.

However, I earned my PhD at the University of Vienna in the field of modeling with microscopic, kinetic, and macroscopic models, as well as their interrelations.

In side projects, I am also interested in math team competitions, the Extended Mind Theory and its impact on mathematical learning, as well as mathematical memes. Due to my many years of teaching experience in schools and across various degree programs, I also have a large collection of teaching materials waiting to be finished. I also support the team of my supervisor, Christina Krause, in research projects related to embodiment.
