My research focuses on understanding the factors that underpin motivation and well-being in the educational context and to design positive psychology/education interventions to enhance these optimal psychological states. The core questions that drive my research include:

 

(1) What motivates students to learn and achieve?

 

(2) What factors drive students’ and teachers’ well-being?

 

(3) What interventions can be designed to enhance learning, motivation, and well-being?

 

(4) How can we leverage big data and data science techniques to answer substantive questions about    motivation, engagement, and well-being?
