My current research interests centre around the use of (digital) technology in mathematics education and, in particular, how mathematics teachers integrate technology into their classroom practice and mathematical knowledge for teaching. I am also interested in the use of quantitative and mixed methods in mathematics education research.
These research interests inform my teaching as a mathematics subject tutor for the Teach First initial teacher education programme; as a dissertation supervisor and leader for Understanding Mathematics Education core module for the MA in Mathematics Education; and as a supervisor of doctoral students in mathematics education.
I first became interested in the use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics as a beginning teacher during my PGCE. As a secondary school mathematics teacher, I developed this interest through my MA dissertation, focusing on the development of teaching techniques for using dynamic geometry software in my own classroom practice. My PhD research focused on mathematics teachers’ knowledge and how it is involved in interacting with technology, as a means of exploring technology integration further.

- Technology in mathematics education
- Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching
- Quantitative and mixed methods research
