Teaching Responsibilities

I teach (lectures, labs, tutorials) on a variety of courses at all levels from access courses through to taught postgraduate masters. I coordinate a number of courses.

I was previously (2018-2025) the Chemsitry Director of Undergraduate Pathways, overseeing recruitment and teaching, learning & assessment on undergraduate degree programmes. I lead the Royal Society of Chemsitry accreditation of out undergraduate degree programmes twice during that time.
