About the donor
Professor Kerry LandmanKerry Landman was appointed Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne in 2007 (the first female professor in the department’s history). After obtaining her PhD in mathematics from the University of Melbourne, she held appointments in the USA at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US Environmental Protection Agency and Southern Methodist University. She returned to the University of Melbourne in the mid-1980s.
Her research career has been committed to cross-disciplinary research and the application of mathematical modelling to industrial and biological processes. Being the most senior academic woman in the Department, she provided strong academic guidance to junior female colleagues and was successful in encouraging female mathematics students, the majority of her PhD students being women. Professor Landman directed the Australian Mathematics-in-Industry Study Group from 1993-1997, where she communicated the power and versatility of mathematics to business, industry and the wider community. In 2014 she was awarded the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society’s medal in recognition for her contributions to industrial and applied mathematics.
Kerry’s intention in establishing this scholarship is to address the shortage of mathematically trained teachers who have the potential to become leaders in a school’s mathematics program. It is Kerry’s vision and hope that these teachers will passionately communicate the beauty and applications of mathematics to encourage, inspire and empower students to succeed.
What are the benefits?
Full tuition fee remission and a living subsidy with a combined total of approximately $30,000 annually for the duration of the Master of Teaching (Secondary) degree provided in equal instalments each semester.
