I am an Assistant Professor of Didactics, specialising in Mathematics Education. I completed a BSc in Physics and a MSc in Mathematics for Education at the University of Crete, Greece. Following that I completed a PhD in Mathematics Education at the Department of Mathematics Education in Loughborough University, UK. During my time in the UK I worked as an Associate for the Further Mathematics Support Program (Mathematics Education Innovation Charity, UK).
After finishing my PhD studies I worked as an Adjunct Lecturer in various Universities in Greece (Department of Mathematics & Applied Mathematics - University of Crete, Department of Electronic Engineering - Hellenic Mediterranean University) and as a Collaborating Researcher at the Socio-Educational Research and Innovation Group located at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (FORTH-Hellas). In 2022, I joined the Department of Primary Education at the University of Crete (Greece) as an Adjunct Lecturer and in 2024 I was appointed Assistant Professor.
A central point of my research activity is Cultural-Historical Theory. From this perspective, I study the development of concept formation, the design of teaching approaches that foster generalisation and abstraction, and the relationship between phylogeny and ontogeny.
