I have been a Teaching Development Officer here at Edinburgh since January 2009. In this role I have responsibility for delivery of physics teaching and for course development and educational research. Prior to taking up this position I was a University Teacher at the University of Glasgow, and before that attained my PhD and conducted post-doctoral research in solar physics.
I have wide-ranging research interests in all aspects of physics education, with a particular emphasis on early-years undergraduate teaching. For full details of my current and previous projects, see the Edinburgh Physics Education Research site.
At present I teach elements of first year physics. I am Course Co-ordinator for the first year courses and lecture on energy and rotational motion in Physics 1A (in the first semester) and on thermal physics, waves, and some introductory quantum physics in Physics 1B (in the second semester). I am also head of the laboratory in Physics 1B.
