Following the Governing Body meeting on 26 May, Lucy Cavendish College is delighted to announce three key appointments to its Fellowship.
Professor Dame Madeleine Atkins, President of Lucy Cavendish College, commented:
“I am absolutely delighted to welcome the new Fellows to Lucy Cavendish College. I have no doubt that their exceptional expertise and experience will help us to develop further the College’s academic and research agendas which will benefit all members of our community.”
Dr Julian Gilbey - Fellow in Mathematics, Dept Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
Shortly after completing his graduate studies in pure mathematics, Julian Gilbey began teaching mathematics in secondary schools. After about 10 years, he returned to Cambridge to work on the Underground Mathematics project, developing teaching materials for A-level Mathematics. During that time, he was also a Director of Studies at Jesus College.
Following a short stint developing materials for NRICH, Julian returned to the world of mathematical research, working in Prof. Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb's Cambridge Image Analysis group.
He is currently developing machine learning (AI) techniques for diagnosing coeliac disease from histopathological images.
In addition to Julian’s mathematical research, he has a particular interest in the transition from school mathematics to undergraduate mathematics, and is developing materials to support students taking this step.
Dr Joe Sutliff Sanders - Fellow in Education, University Lecturer, Dept Education
Joe is a Fellow at Lucy Cavendish College. He joined the Faculty of Education after more than a decade teaching in literature departments at universities across the United States. He is a former junior high school English teacher at a small town in Japan and a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Luxembourg.
Joe works in Children’s Literature, with past books on classic girls’ novels, the Belgian cartoonist Hergé, children’s nonfiction and critical engagement, and children’s animation. His current projects include research on autism and comics, the role that comics and graphic novels have played in shaping understandings of literacy, and Chinese children’s literature.
Dr Renan Baker - Fellow in History, Affiliated Lecturer, Faculty of History
Renan is a historian and a philologist with broad interests from Hadrian’s Wall to the Mediterranean, and from Homer to Charlemagne. His most recent research focuses on chronology of the Ancient World, Roman Imperial Biographies and the reception of Classics in the early middle ages.
He received his DPhil in Classics from the University of Oxford, and holds a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cambridge.
He is enthusiastic about teaching and making ancient history and classics accessible to all. Renan is also an Affiliated Lecturer in the History Faculty, and his teaching focuses on ancient history (Greece and Rome) and the early middle ages and HAP—all while making sure the broader historical and historiographical context is considered. He has been nominated and received various awards for teaching excellence from the History Faculty.
His current academic work finalizes his book manuscript on the Historia Augusta (a collection of Roman imperial biographies) and an English translation and commentary of a less-known work of St. Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis, on measures and biblical chronology.
Renan’s extra-curricular interests include: student well-being, investment management (with relevant qualifications from CFA, UK and LSEG Academy) and rock and wall climbing (bouldering).
