Speakers
Abrahamson
Prof. Dr. Dor Abrahamson - UC Berkeley
Professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education
Dor Abrahamson (PhD, Learning Sciences) is Professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development at the Graduate School of Education, University of California Berkeley, where he runs the Embodied Design Research Laboratory (https://edrl.berkeley.edu). A design-based researcher of mathematics cognition, teaching, and learning, Abrahamson develops and evaluates theoretical models of diverse students’ conceptual learning by analyzing empirical data collected in technological implementations of his innovative pedagogical design. Abrahamson and collaborators use mixed multimodal analytic methodologies to investigate the emergence of mathematical concepts from perceptual forms that facilitate sensorimotor coordination. Drawing on enactivist philosophy, dynamic systems theory, and sociocultural views, Abrahamson theorizes conceptual learning as students’ guided reconciliation of perceptually immediate and culturally mediated constructions of situated phenomena.
Palatnik
Dr. Alik Palatnik - HUJI
Dr.
Dr. Alik Palatnik is a faculty member at the Seymour Fox School of Education, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in mathematics education. He received his Ph.D. from the Technion (2016), where he focused on project-based learning in mathematics. His postdoctoral research at the Embodied Design Research Laboratory (EDRL) at UC Berkeley further advanced his expertise in design-based methodologies and embodied cognition. Dr. Palatnik’s research spans student-centered pedagogies, embodied learning, and innovative teacher education practices. He has published in leading academic journals, including Educational Studies in Mathematics and Teaching and Teacher Education, and has contributed widely to international conferences such as PME. He currently leads national and international research initiatives, including an ISF-funded project on embodied geometry learning. Dr. Palatnik also serves as the leader of the thematic working group at the European Conference of Research in Mathematics Education, is an active peer reviewer for top-tier journals, and plays a key role in supporting teacher professional development both in Israel and internationally.
Dimmel
Prof. Dr. Justin Dimmel - University of Maine
Associate Dean for Academics and Student Engagement - Associate Professor of Mathematics Education and Instructional Technology
Justin Dimmel is associate dean for academics and student engagement in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development, where he also serves as an associate professor of mathematics education and instructional technology in the School of Learning and Teaching. Dr. Dimmel has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in teacher education. He is the founder and director of the Immersive Mathematics in Rendered Environments (IMRE) Lab, which designs virtual and augmented reality math and science learning environments, and investigates how VR and AR technologies can transform STEM education. In addition, he led a team that developed the SunRule, an interactive sculpture that harnesses the rays of the sun to help users explore multiplication and division. The project was chosen for UMaine’s MIRTA accelerator, a program designed to advance research along the path to commercialization, turning lab innovations into real-world products and services with public benefit. In 2022, Dimmel received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the organization’s most prestigious award for early career faculty.

Botev
Dr. Jean Botev - VR/AR Lab Uni Lux
Research scientist
Dr. Botev is a senior researcher at the Department of Computer Science (DCS) of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg. His background is in Computer Science and Media Studies. Before joining the University in 2009, he was at the University of Trier (Germany) and City University, London (UK). His research interests include complex networks, self-organization, mediated reality and collaborative socio-technical systems, focusing particularly on the way social and technical systems interrelate to develop novel context-aware and immersive applications. Dr. Botev is a founding member of the Collaborative and Socio-Technical Systems (COaST) research group and leads the laboratory for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR Lab; https://vrarlab.uni.lu/). He is an HEA Fellow and teaches several courses at both graduate and postgraduate level.
Jensenius
Prof. Dr. Alexander Jensenius - RITMO, University of Oslo
Director at RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion (IMV) - Professor at Institutt for musikkvitenskap
lexander Refsum Jensenius, BA, MA, MSc, PhD [he/him] is a music researcher and research musician. He is Professor of music technology and Director of RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion. He studies how and why people move to music in the fourMs Lab and uses this knowledge to create new music with untraditional instruments. Publications include the monograph Sound Actions, and the Sonic Design and A NIME Reader anthologies. He has been named Open Science Champion through his involvement in modernizing how research is conceived and conducted, including research-based educational approaches through online courses such as Music Moves, Motion Capture, and Pupillometry. Alexander received a multi-disciplinary bachelor's degree in music and mathematics and a master's in musicology from the University of Oslo. He then completed a master's in applied information technology at the Chalmers University of Technology before pursuing a PhD in music technology at the University of Oslo. He has been a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley (CNMAT), McGill University (IDMIL), and KTH (TMH). He was Head of the Department of Musicology from 2013-2016 and led the Steering Committee of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression from 2011-2022.
Upham
Dr. Finn Upham - RITMO, University of Oslo
Researcher
Finn Upham uses measurements of audience behaviour, physiological changes in listeners' bodies, and musical signal characteristics to investigate listeners' interactive experience of music unfolding in time. At RITMO, they are working on the empirical evaluation of temporal relationships between rhythms in musical signals and the oscillatory systems of the human body. Finn has a PhD in Music Technology from New York University (dissertation on music listeners' respiratory phase alignment to music), a Master in Music Technology as well as a BMus (Theory) and BSc (Mathematics) from McGill University.
Latour
Dr. Thibaud Latour - LMDDC
CEO of lmddc – Luxembourg Media & Digital Design Centre
Thibaud Latour is General Director of the Luxembourg Media & Digital Design Centre GIE, a public Economic Interest Group created by the Luxembourg Ministry of Higher Education and Research together with the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology with the mission to promote and activate digital innovation in education and training, providing EdTech solutions and assistance on digital learning platforms and media content design. He holds a PhD in Computer Chemical-Physics from the University of Namur (Belgium), and spent more than 20 years at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology as Head of Research Unit specialized in Knowledge modelling, Ambient Intelligence and Educational Technologies where he founded the "Cognitive Environment Lab", before serving as Head of European Affairs.

SYMPOSIUM
Website-Hero Image-urban-mobilities1.png

Le département Développement Urbain et Mobilité (LISER) et le Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research (VUB) ont organisé un symposium d’une journée intitulé "To pay or not to pay - The role of fares in public transport" (Payer ou ne pas payer – Le rôle de la tarification dans les transports publics), le 20 mars 2025 à la Black Box (Maison des Sciences). Ce symposium marque la fin du projet LiFT, un projet bilatéral financé par le Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR) du Luxembourg et le Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique – Flandre (FWO). Le projet LiFT s’est concentré sur la politique de suppression de la tarification dans les transports publics, aussi appelée transports publics gratuits (TPG).
