Associate Professor Wanty Widjaja is the Associate Head of School International and Engagement of the School of Education. Wanty's research focuses on understanding complexity of classroom practices and examining ways to support teacher professional learning and student mathematical reasoning. Two recent and notable Category 1 and 2 grant successes are Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project Primary teachers adaptive expertise in interdisciplinary maths and science (2021-2024) and Secondary Mathematics and Science initiative for out-of-field teachers funded by Victorian Department of Education and Training (2020-current). In 2023, Wanty led a successful Australia Awards Fellowship 'Vietnam-Australia partnership for digital transformation in higher education' funded by Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Prior to joining Deakin in 2012, Wanty worked as a mathematics teacher educator in Indonesia and Singapore. She has continued to strengthen research partnerships with researchers from the Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia on Lesson Study, design-based research, teacher professional learning, and STEM education.
