Current Teaching (2022/23)

This year I'm organising Engineering Mathematics 1 / Mathematics for the Natural Sciences 1. I also lecture on Fundamentals of Pure Mathematics (Analysis). All course materials are available on Learn.

AIMS-Ghana

In January 2015 and 2016 I visited AIMS-Ghana to teach a three week course in Combinatorial Algebraic Topology, these visits were supported by the James Clerk Maxwell AIMS fund.

Teaching support and development

• Since 2022 I have lead the School of Mathematics tutor training and development.
• Since achieving Fellowship of the Higher Education Acaemdy (FHEA) in 2019 I have coordinated the School of Mathematics local EdTA scheme, working with more than a dozen collegues supporting others working towards either Fellowship or Associate Fellowship of the HEA.
• Since 2018 I coordinate the MIGS Teaching Stream with in the Maxwell Institure Graduate School.
