Event Speakers
The Event speakers will be added to this page as the programme is finalised.
Camilla Gilmore
Camilla Gilmore is Professor of Mathematical Cognition at Loughborough University and Director of the ESRC Centre for Early Mathematics Learning.
Her research focuses on understanding how we learn and process mathematical ideas and what this means for mathematics education. This work has a particular focus on cognitive and environmental influences on numeracy development. This includes the role of executive function skills and spatial reasoning in mathematical development.
Camilla’s background is in developmental and cognitive psychology, and she has previously studied and worked at the universities of Nottingham, Oxford and Harvard. She has held research fellowships from the British Academy and the Royal Society and has received awards from the Experimental Psychology Society, the British Psychological Society and the British Society for Research in Learning Mathematics.
Andy Noyes
Andy Noyes is a Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham from where he graduated with a BSc in Mathematics in 1991. Following a decade as a secondary teacher in a Nottinghamshire secondary school, he joined the School of Education as a teacher educator in 2001. He was Head of the School of Education from 2014-18 and Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange from 2018-20.
Andy has led many large-scale projects and is the founding Director of the Observatory for Mathematical Education. His research has explored mathematical attitudes and engagement, qualifications and assessment, and educational policy and change. He is particularly interested in systems thinking and implementation science, and he has advised regulatory bodies on qualifications reform.
Andy was the Chair of the Joint Mathematical Council of the UK from 2018-24. He is a member of the Royal Society's Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education and was part of the Mathematical Futures Programme Board. He advocated for the development of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences and has supported many major research projects and intervention programmes.
