Nalith Fernando is a Senior Lecturer, Quality Lead and Student Wellbeing Advisor at UCL, with more than 17 years of experience in tertiary education. He teaches mathematics across foundation and diploma programmes, with particular expertise in engineering mathematics, mathematics for computer science and advanced mathematics.
His professional interests extend to teaching and learning, student support and quality enhancement in higher education. His research covers mathematical modelling and mathematics education, and he received the Directors' Award for Teaching Excellence at UCL's 10th anniversary.
I believe mathematics should be taught not simply as a collection of formulas and procedures, but as a way of thinking, problem-solving, and understanding real-world situations.
