Teaching
I teach modules across all student levels at the University, including Systems Design and Computing, Advanced Sensors and Condition Monitoring, and Introduction to Advanced Mechanical Engineering Science. I supervise both individual and group design projects and am particularly enthusiastic about incorporating my research and industry experience in medical devices into my teaching.
