Elvira Fernández-Ahumada. Graduated as engineer in the University of Cordoba in 2004, she obtained her PhD at the same university in 2008, awarded with the extraordinary PhD prize in the field of Engineering and Technology. Her main line of research has had a clear direction towards specialization in the mathematical treatment of data, mainly with quantitative approaches and multivariate analysis, as reflected in her most important publications. After several international experiences with pre-doctoral stays and post-doctoral contracts in prestigious research centres, she joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cordoba, in 2016, as a doctoral assistant professor, position she currently holds. In recent years, she have broadened the focus of her research, addressing research on mathematics education. In this field, her main research lines deal with mathematical competence of pre-service teachers, problem solving and modelling in mathematics teaching; developing number sense in the first years of learning; studying mathematics education in bilingual contexts and using immersive virtual worlds for educational purposes.
