Research Interests

Dania’s research explores mathematical learning through a developmental lens. Specifically, she is interested in investigating the impact that different socio-emotional, cognitive, and linguistic factors have on children’s mathematical understanding. Through her research, Dania hopes to be able to inform evidence-based interventions that work to close the achievement gap in mathematics.
