Professor Ilyse Resnick

Ilyse Resnick earned her PhD at Temple University, as part of the Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center. She then completed a highly competitive Institute of Education Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Delaware, on cognitive development and applications in educational settings. Ilyse’s program of research identifies and characterises the fundamental cognitive processes required in complex spatial and numerical reasoning. By characterising when certain spatial and numerical skills emerge, how they develop, and what specific STEM tasks they support, Ilyse is able to advance targeted, timely, and empirically driven STEM interventions.
