Teaching

I am passionate about teaching and have experience teaching and mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students in mathematics, data science, infectious disease modelling and biomedical sciences. I currently teach a first year module on mathematical modelling using differential equations at the University of Warwick and am also a member of the Mathematics of Real World Systems CDT Advisory Board.
