I mainly work as a researcher and university lecturer at the Department of Special Education at Åbo Akademi University, and this semester (2023-2024) also as a visiting researcher at the University of Eastern Finland. My research interests include students’ school well-being and motivation, with a particular focus on individual developmental trajectories of well-being (i.e., school engagement and burnout) and motivation (competence- and value-beliefs, and costs) during educational transitions, and the relations between well-being, motivational beliefs, academic performance, and future aspirations.
