Biography

I am a psychologist and associate professor at the University of Pécs, Hungary, with academic roots in psychology, education and literature. My research explores how cognitive and developmental psychology can deepen our understanding of learning and teaching. I am particularly interested in metacognition, Theory of Mind, scaffolding, and the development of higher-order thinking skills. My work also examines the use of cognitive tools in educational contexts, including how digital and AI-based technologies may serve as mediators of thinking and learning. I approach these topics through theoretical inquiry and case-based research, and I have a growing interest in how cognitive neuroscience can inform our understanding of learning processes. I am also interested in the potential of AI to model, enhance, or even challenge human cognition—especially within the framework of education. I often turn to psychobiographical methods to better understand exceptional achievement and the development of human potential. I welcome international collaborations and enjoy working across disciplinary boundaries.
