Dr Ovidiu Bagdasar

About

I am an Associate Professor in Mathematics. This means that most of my time is spent between research, teaching, and visits to international partners. In collaboration with colleagues, students, and technology companies, I developed numeracy training to help university students and staff, enterprises, communities, and international partners.

My goal is to fulfil the vision of “a world where everyone enjoys maths”.

As an academic with extensive experience and innovative classroom practice, my focus is on Learning and Teaching, supported by impactful Research and Internationalization.

I am the Turing Scheme Lead for the School of Computing and lead the Vretta maths support project.

Motto: "The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one." (M. Forbes)

Teaching responsibilities

My teaching is informed by research in theoretical and applied mathematics, and current issues in mathematical education like the numeracy gap and maths anxiety. I have led various UG and PG modules, including:

Mathematical Software (Level 4- Mathematics)
Computational Mathematics (Level 4 – Computer Science)
Calculus (Level 4, Mathematics)
Optimisation Techniques (Level 6, Mathematics)
Modelling with Differential Equations (Level 6 - Mathematics)
Optimization (Level 7, MSc Computational Mathematics)

With Vretta Inc., in 2020 I developed automatically generated exams, graded, and provided full solutions and feedback.
