Biography

I am a professor of Special Education, and the co-director of the Center of Excellence in Learning Dynamics and Intervention research (InterLearn; Academy of Finland, 2022-2029). Within the multidisciplinary InterLearn consortium I lead the research team of Educational Sciences.  My main research interests relate to typical and atypical development of learning skills (esp. literacy and math), as well as educational interventions of learning problems.
