Research Area

I investigate human behaviour and decision-making through data-driven approaches that integrate educational psychology, cognitive science, and human–computer interaction. My research focuses on self-regulated learning and metacognition in university students, as well as behavioural regulation in technology-mediated physical activity using sensing systems such as smart bicycles and wearable devices. In particular, this work examines how individuals adapt their actions under cognitive, informational, and mechanical constraints. These projects are conducted in collaboration with colleagues and students within and beyond the university.
