Dr Lyron (pronounced lee-ron) Winderbaum (he/him)

Lyron is a passionate mathematics educator, as well as an applied statistician, data scientist, rockclimber, and LGBTQIA+ advocate and ally. Working at the Mathematics Learning Centre at the University of Adelaide from 2012-2019 he discovered his true passion: enabling and supporting learners entering into university mathematics education. So in early 2019 Lyron completed his Masters in Teaching on mathematics bridging programs and the barriers students face in the secondary-tertiary transition of mathematics education. Since then, he has worked as a high school teacher, and taught numerous university mathematics courses including into several enabling programs as well as masters of data science programs, and software carpentry workshops. Throughout all his mathematics education experience the focus has always been on working with and supporting students one-on-one in a relational style, and learning how to better create safe spaces both because of the underlying ethic that every person has the right to safety, but also because of the understanding that in order for people to learn they must first feel safe.
