Nielsen Pereira studies gifted and high-ability education, focusing on how academically talented students—including underachievers, multilingual learners, and students in STEM fields—can be identified, motivated, and supported. Their work combines survey and assessment design (such as measurement validation tools) with intervention studies aimed at improving achievement motivation and engagement in school settings. Much of this research draws on data from schools in the US and internationally, including Brazil and Colombia.
