His research interests centre on enhancing the effectiveness and enjoyment of mathematics learning through storytelling and implementing pedagogical interventions at scale to support evidence-informed policymaking, with a combined grant portfolio exceeding £600,000. He founded the non-profit MathsThroughStories.org in 2017, offering free online resources viewed over two million times by more than half a million users from 220 countries, and launched the Young Mathematical Story Authors competition in 2019, attracting over 5,000 entries from more than 30 countries. He has delivered Maths Through Stories training to over 5,000 pre-service and in-service teachers across the UK and internationally, including in the USA, Norway, Ghana, Maldives, and South East Asia, and collaborates with policymakers for national implementations. Notable fellowships and grants include the University of Reading Research Fellowship, British Academy Leverhulme Small Research Grant, and Leverhulme Trust funding. Key publications comprise 'Visualisation to support children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder learning to solve mathematical word problems: a randomised controlled trial' (2023, British Journal of Special Education), 'Taiwanese primary school teachers’ perceived enablers for and barriers to the integration of children’s literature in mathematics teaching and learning' (2022, Educational Studies in Mathematics), 'Mathematical epistemic beliefs: through the gender lens' (2022, Frontiers in Education), and 'Australian primary school teachers’ perceived barriers to and enablers for the integration of children’s literature in mathematics teaching and learning' (2021, Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education).
