Experienced at all levels, including lab and lecture modules such as First year Lab Head, PHY102 lecturer (Light and Optics), PHY250/251 lecturer (Solids), 2nd Year Tutor, PHY382/482 (Semiconductor Physics and Devices), PHY391 (Quantum Information Lab), PHY480 MPhys project supervision.

Research-led teaching - I led the development of a specialist UG laboratory for quantum optics experiments that are closely aligned with key departmental research activities.

This unique (in the UK) UG lab facility, provides L3 students with a deep learning experience that equips them for further PhD or industrial research in quantum information science. The facility is used on Open Days as an example of our investment in innovative, research-led teaching.
