Hi, as a PhD candidate at the <a href="http://psyres.uva.nl/research/content/programme-group-psychological-methods/programme-group-psychological-methods.html">Psychological Methods group</a> of the University of Amsterdam I study (online) learning.

<h2>Current topics</h2>

<h3>Modeling cognitive development</h3>

We aim to describe patterns of cognitive development with a novel formal model&#151;in collaboration with <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gunter_Maris"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://hvandermaas.socsci.uva.nl/Homepage_Han_van_der_Maas/Home.html"><NAME></a>, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Frederik_Coomans"><NAME></a>, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Abe_Hofman"><NAME></a>.

<h3>A/B testing in online learning</h3>

We aim to intervene in large-scale online learning systems, such as Coursera, in order to enable (1) evidence-based iterative improvement of these systems and (2) adaptive and personalized learning experiences (read more <a href="http://alexandersavi.nl/blog/ab-testing-in-online-learning-a-brief-primer/">here</a>)&#151;in collaboration with <a href="http://www.josephjaywilliams.com/"><NAME></a>, <a href="https://www.coursera.org/instructor/annemarie"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://www.nienkeruijs.nl/"><NAME></a>.

<h3>Diagnostics in learning</h3>

We aim to identify students' 'cognitive pathology', such as suboptimal strategies or straight misconceptions, such that these students can receive targeted interventions&#151;in collaboration with <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gunter_Maris"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Timo_Bechger"><NAME></a>, <a href="https://www.uva.nl/disciplines/psychologie/medewerkers/psychologische-methodenleer/pm/pm/folder/k/r/j.kruis/j.kruis.html">Joost Kruis</a>.
