My research interests are centered on teaching, didactics, and learning, with a foundation in educational psychology. My primary research area is first-year student retention, with a focus on how students experience the transition to university and how the institution supports them during this process.
In my PhD, I am currently investigating the role of student agency in enhancing student retention in the first year of higher education. For this purpose, I employ a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys. Additionally, I teach teaching assistants and student instructors in pedagogy and didactics, focusing on enhancing their teaching competencies and fostering reflection on their own practice.
