Dr Dündar-Coecke is a developmental cognitive scientist specialising in multidisciplinary approaches to education. After completing her first PhD in Education Sciences, she collaborated with CERN physicists at the University of Zurich to explore the implications of quantum theory for cognition and education. She later joined the University of Oxford’s Quantum Group and completed a second PhD in Educational Neuroscience at UCL.//
Her work focuses on translating advanced scientific research into practical educational innovation and workforce development. She integrates insights from Quantum Information Sciences and Technologies (QIST) to pioneer new paradigms for teaching complex concepts. She leads Quantum Picturalism (QPic), an interdisciplinary initiative initially funded by Quantinuum, Oxford, IBM, and City University London, and now supported by the U.S. Air Force for expansion in the United States. She also teaches “Psychology and Learning” at King’s College London.
