I am a Bye-Fellow and Director of Studies at Corpus Christi College. I teach across the breadth of materials science, with a focus on electrochemical and photoactive materials central to the net‑zero energy transition. My commitment to high‑quality teaching was recognised with Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2023.
Director of Studies in Materials Science
Since October 2021, I have mentored students specialising in materials science, supporting their academic development and job applications. I serve as Director of Studies at Corpus Christi College and previously provided sabbatical cover at Jesus College (October 2022 – March 2023). Through the STEM SMART widening‑participation programme, I have delivered 21 physics tutorials to 16 A‑level students from under‑represented backgrounds. I also interview candidates for the BA/MSci Natural Sciences (Physical) as part of the University’s admissions process.
Supervisor for Part 1A Materials Science
Since September 2018, I have taught small‑group tutorials in the first‑year Materials Science course for the BA/MSci Natural Sciences, covering topics such as crystallography, device materials, diffraction, microstructures, mechanical properties, biomaterials, and materials under extreme environments. I typically lead 1–4 tutorial groups per year, delivering 21 tutorials across the course.
Lecturer and Assessor for MRes Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
I was invited to lecture on light–matter interactions for the NE06 Nanochemistry course on the MRes in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in 2022–23 and 2023–24. In 2023–24, I convened the NE09 Nanoelectrochemistry course and delivered lectures on electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry (three lectures and one examples class). As an Assessor, I have marked project dissertations in nanophotonics, photochemistry, and materials science.
Lecturer for Part II Materials Science
I lectured the third‑year C2 Electrochemical Materials course in the BA/MSci Natural Sciences in 2022–23, covering electrochemistry, batteries, fuel cells, and photoelectrochemical cells. I facilitated learning through six lectures, one examples class, and one small‑group tutorial (six groups). I also prepared an exam question as a summative assessment for the course and marked the resulting scripts.
