General description
I’m Professor of psychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Jyväskylä (JYU), Finland, and the director of the Centre of Excellence for Learning Dynamics and Intervention Research (InterLearn CoE) at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, JYU.
Inline with InterLearn CoE themes, the links between children's learning and mental health, and the factors that explain the effectiveness of learning support interventions, I aim to understand why some children develop difficulties in early life and school and why some children, despite some risk factors manage to avoid major problems.
