He has a broad academic background in the areas of biology, chemistry, statistics, and education, and has held lecturing positions at institutions including Cardiff University, London Southeast College, and Birmingham City University. Over his career he has taught a variety of subjects, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, which include statistics, quantitative methods, mathematics for science, teacher training, research methods, biomedical science, nutrition and organic chemistry, health and well-being, and clinical anatomy and physiology. He has also taught a variety of science-based subjects in FE colleges, which include GCSE, BTEC, Access and A levels. His primary research contributions are in the areas of curriculum development, randomness misconceptions, and the role of context in statistics education. Rhys’s research interests also focus on mathematical and statistical anxiety, helping to inform strategies to engage and motivate people in these subjects. Rhys has developed global perspectives and methods in using active learning approaches in the teaching of statistics, to thousands of students over his career. In using these approaches, he has thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of bringing to life the teaching of statistics, across a range of disciplines and education levels (in schools and at university) across the planet. These teaching and learning activities have been incorporated throughout his books, to help engage and excite people in the art of statistical literacy, and the creation of compelling data stories.
