I obtained my PhD in Mathematics Education at the University of Warwick and worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham before moving to Loughborough University as a Senior Research Fellow funded by the Royal Society. Prior to this I worked as a Research Assistant on many projects at several universities, and was a school teacher for ten years.
Research areas
My main area interest is developing and applying comparative judgement methods to mathematics education research, and to other fields.
Another interest is how university students learn mathematics, with a particular focus on automating assessment and feedback.
I am also interested in how school students understanding equivalence and other mathematical topics related learning algebra.
