Speaking

Available for keynotes, panels, podcasts, and closed briefings.

Five topics carried by his own work rather than a general interest, in English or Montenegrin, in person or remote. A short note about the audience and the question you want addressed is enough to start.

Measuring social and emotional skills at scale

Education ministries, foundations, plenary audiences

What a large international study of social and emotional skills can and cannot tell a system about its own students, drawn from designing the OECD Study on Social and Emotional Skills across 15 sites.

When a cross-country comparison is worth trusting

Research teams, statistical agencies, methods seminars

Measurement invariance without the algebra: why two countries answering the same questionnaire may not be answering the same question, and how to tell before the ranking is published.

Assessment under the EU AI Act

Assessment vendors, HR leadership, legal and compliance teams

High-risk classification reaches most hiring and educational assessment. What validity evidence the regulation actually asks for, and where existing psychometric practice already meets it.

Why evidence on skills rarely survives the trip to the classroom

Policy forums, school leadership, teacher-education audiences

The gap between what the measurement literature supports and what schools are asked to implement, and the small number of decisions that close most of it.

Building an assessment platform from the psychometrics up

EdTech, founders, applied-psychology programmes

Taking an instrument from item bank to scored report in production: what has to be decided before code, and what breaks when it is not.
