ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia.

I was educated (BSc and PhD) at Monash University, Melbourne.

I worked for many years in the Department of Mathematics, La Trobe University, Melbourne.

As a result of my work in mathematics education, I went to the School of Education at the University of Southampton, UK, where I was Professor and Director of the Centre for Mathematics Education.

I then went to Rutgers, NJ, where I was Visiting Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Senior Research Scientist in the Robert B. Davis Institute for Learning at Rutgers.

After Rutgers I went to the College of Education at Washington State University, where I was Boeing Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education.

My research interests are in:

  • mathematics education, including statistics education
  • data science education
  • mathematical & statistical modeling, including:
    • analysis of naturalistic data
    • spatial data analysis
    • analysis of protein-protein interaction networks
    • higher order networks
