Personal

 

I am married with two children.

​

I am currently Head of the Mathematics and Statistics Department at the University of Reading in the UK, and Professor of Mathematics and Mathematics Education.

​

I trained and subsequently quaified as a secondary school mathematics teacher.

​

I have been a member of staff in the Department at Reading since 1984, having also worked as a research fellow for British Gas, RAE Bedford and AWE Aldermaston.

​

Apart from 'napping', my passions, in no particular order, are:

​

Cricket; sport in general;

teaching;

studying, creating, doing and writing mathematics

​

Looking forward to: retirement from being Head of Department and being able to concentrate on mathematics again!
