Lilia Marcelino holds a PhD in Education since 2015 from Universidade Lusófona, with a doctoral scholarship funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology [SFRH/BD/69366/2010]. As a researcher, she is an integrated member at CICANT - Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture, and New Technologies and a collaborator at CeiED - Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Education and Development, both at Universidade Lusófona, besides being a regular member of the international MCLS – Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society.

Lilia is an assistant professor at FCSEA - Faculty of Social Sciences, Education and Administration - Lusófona University in bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Her research interests focus on mathematics learning difficulties, early diagnosis and (non-)digital intervention in mathematics. She participated in research projects related to mathematics videogame-based learning for deaf students [PTDC/COM-CSS/32022/2017; LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-032022] and social participation of students with special educational needs in public schools [PTDC/MHC-CED/4150/2014], as a hired doctoral researcher (2019-2021) and a postdoctoral researcher (2018), respectively. 

In collaboration with the Pro-Sucesso Azores Government program, in 2016-2017, she coordinated two research projects on early identification and mathematics non-digital intervention in first-grade students with and without learning difficulties. She recently began collaborating with the national PISA for School program and the startup EDThink to diagnose mathematics competencies in fourth-grade students. 

Lilia graduated in Psychology from Lusófona University in 2005 and is a member of the Portuguese Psychologist Association and an Educational Psychology internship supervisor. In 2010, she founded the Núcleo de Discalculia – Psychopedagogical Support and Training, where she continues to provide psychopedagogical support to children, adolescents, and adults with low achievement in mathematics, as well as certified training courses for psychologists, teachers, and other professionals interested in Mathematics Learning Difficulties.
