Teaching

I am an enthusiastic lecturer with wide experience of undergraduate teaching at all levels. For many years I taught a popular level three combinatorics module. Other courses I have taught in Sheffield include:

• Analysis

• Vector spaces and Fourier theory

• Groups and symmetries

• Algebraic topology

Other lecturing experience includes courses on metric spaces and measure and integration.

I very much enjoy supervising project work. Level four MMath project topics I have supervised include:

• Aperiodic tilings

• Combinatorics of the symmetric group

• Discrete geometry

• Integer valued polynomials

• Integer partitions

• The Dold-Kan correspondence

In 2022–23, I taught the year-long second year MAS221 Analysis module and MAS334 Combinatorics. I am on Study Leave in Semester 1 of 2023-24, so not currently lecturing any modules.
