Yuxin ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate in the School of Education at Macquarie University, supervised by Prof. Rebecca Bull and Dr Emma Burns.

She is passionate about understanding children’s development of mathematical cognition. She is interested in using multiple research methods (e.g., experimental, correlational, longitudinal, meta-analysis, secondary analysis, etc.) to study the relationship between cognitive factors (e.g., working memory, executive functioning, and spatial reasoning) and mathematics learning throughout childhood and adolescence. 

Her research aims to advance the understanding of the development of math learning and cognition, and provide evidence-based tips to aid in math class instructions, intervention programmes, and help students who struggle with math to establish a positive relationship with math.
