About Me
I hold a Master's in Physics Education and a PhD in Educational Technology. As an Assistant Professor of Instructional Technology at the University of Twente, my passion lies in harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies—including computer-supported collaborative learning environments, simulations, VR, and serious games—to enhance the learning experiences of K-12 students. My primary focus is on facilitating students' conceptual understanding of science and equipping them with essential 21st-century skills, such as creative thinking and problem-solving.
