Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Wicks is a mathematics educator and researcher with nearly a decade of higher-education experience and a PhD in Mathematics, specialising in applied and computational approaches. He has led curriculum redesigns, taught large cohorts and programming for mathematics, and directed outreach initiatives that connect university students with schools to boost STEM participation. As Associate Professor he led a national Higher Education cohort study into undergraduate mathematics experiences and has a track record of translating research into practical teaching improvements and assessment redesign. Thomas combines hands-on tutoring (including STEP/MAT/TMUA preparation) with academic leadership, recently moving into roles providing institution-wide maths and statistics support. His background in computational research and Monte Carlo simulation gives him strong quantitative and programming skills that underpin his pedagogical work. Now on a short break after voluntary severance, he is open to roles that apply his blend of curriculum design, quantitative analysis and student-facing tutoring.
