Supervision and Teaching
Since 2020, I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and for my dedication to teaching and learning, in 2018, I was honoured to have received the Terrance Harris Excellence in Mentorship Award from California Polytechnic State University.
I have held several leadership roles at the University of Birmingham, for instance, from 2022 to 2024, I led the Topology and Dynamics Research Group, in the academic year 2023/24, I chaired the School of Mathematics’ Information Technology and Digital Delivery Committee, and from 2020 to 2023, I was a Director of Student Experience.
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.
