Kinga holds a BSc in Cognitive Science from Jagiellonian University (2026), where she is currently studying Mathematics. Her research interests lie in the psychology of mathematical cognition, with a particular focus on difficulties in mathematics learning, spatial-numerical associations, and the foundations of mathematical expertise and intuition.

She is a student co-researcher on two projects conducted at the Mathematical Cognition and Learning Lab: the National Science Centre’s OPUS grant, “The Gist of Math: Applying Fuzzy-Trace Theory as an Integrative Framework to Investigate Different Dimensions of Numerical Memory and Their Associations with Mathematical Skills in the General Population and Among Individuals with Dyscalculia,” and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education grant, “Mind, Number, Space: Spatial-Numerical Cognition in Professional Mathematicians.” She is also actively involved in the Cognitive Science Student Association.

Kinga has presented her research at international conferences, including the Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society conference in Padua (2026), the European Society for Cognitive Psychology conference in Sheffield (2025), and the European Workshop on Cognitive Neuropsychology in Bressanone (2026). In 2026, she received the Minister of Science and Higher Education Scholarship for Outstanding Students.
