My Teaching
My teaching profile has been greatly enhanced in recent years where I have had the opportunity to develop and coordinate innovative courses such as Practical Project Management for Scientists, Contemporary Physics and Exoplanets. Additionally I have taught courses ranging from Introduction to Astrophysics (and Geophysics) to Stellar Spectroscopy, coordinated the student seminar on Stellar Physics and supervised an advanced bachelor lab.
