"Wendy is a cognitive scientist based at Kingston University, London.
Her main area of research is the role of serendipity in creativity and problem solving from both an experimental and a philosophical perspective.
Her recent publications have explored mathematical and insight problem-solving, collaborative creativity, and serendipity.
She is also a section editor for the Palgrave Encyclopaedia of the Possible and Secretary of the Serendipity Society."
