I am a Research Fellow at Adelaide University's Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning. In my doctoral research, I explored the intersection of self-regulated learning and mind wandering during video-based learning, specifically examining how learners adapt their learning processes after recognising mind wandering episodes. This research aimed to develop evidence-based recommendations for effective responses to mind wandering during learning. Following my PhD, I have begun researching educational technology to support cognitive and metacognitive processes during learning.
