Biography
Professor Dann Mallet is a university mathematics education expert, pre-service teacher educator, and applied mathematician. He has experience in academic and curriculum team leadership and mentoring as well as extensive experience as a university mathematics educator at all levels.
Previously, he has been Director of Learning and Teaching in QUTs School of Mathematical Sciences as well as Academic Program Director for Mathematics. Dann’s applied mathematics research is focused on mathematical biology and human dynamics research. He is also a dedicated tertiary mathematics educator, receiving the Award for Teaching Excellence in the 2014 Australian Awards for University Teaching and being recognised as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Teaching
I teach (or have previously taught) a variety of subjects to undergraduate students in education, mathematics, science, engineering, and business degrees. I also supervise PhD students in both STEM education and applied mathematics.
