About me
I have been a member of the Department of Computing and Mathematics since 2005 where are started as a Lecturer in Mathematics and I completed by PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics in 2008. Since then I have taught on a number of different degree programmes and have supervised post-graduate research students. In addition to teaching, I have taken roles including Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Mathematics course, department student experience lead and final year level tutor.
