Supervision and Teaching
I am the Chair of the Information Technology and Digital Delivery Committee for the School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. Since 2020, I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and from 2020 to 2023 a Director of Student Experience at the University of Birmingham. I am also honoured to have received the Terrance Harris Excellence in Mentorship Award from California Polytechnic State University in 2018.
Below is a selection of research projects and dissertations I have supervised as well as a list of lecture courses I have taught.
Enquiries from potential postdoctoral researchers, as well as research students and visitors, are always welcome.
