Bio
Chef by trade, Guillaume Sparks-Beaulé has been teaching management and cooking at the ITHQ since 2018. He is currently completing a Master’s degree in specialized education and training at the Université du Québec à Montréal while working as a research assistant and teaching assistant.
He is particularly interested in educational neuroscience to better understand the cognitive mechanisms underlying learning and their impact on performance as well as the development of disciplinary expertise. Based on the importance of designing data collection devices that respect the context of use of the emerging data, his research focusses on the overlay of behavioural and psychophysiological data in an authentic learning environment.
