I am an associate professor at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ in Finland. My main research interests relate to development of mathematical skills with particular focus on mathematical learning difficulties, comorbid difficulties and intervention research. I co-lead a research project focusing on children’s early development of mathematical skills (EarlyMath - Pathways to math difficulties: A longitudinal study from birth to school-age; European Research Council; 2021-2026). I am also a senior member in a Finnish Center of Excellence aiming at revealing the developmental links between learning problems and psychosocial wellbeing (Learning Dynamics and Intervention Research (InterLearn; Academy of Finland; 2022-2029). Furthermore, I also lead the research team in a consortium project aiming at developing a game to enhance children’s basic math skills in elementary school (EPM- Getting better in Math by playing; Technology Industries of Finland Centennial Foundation; 2021-2024).
