Teaching
I teach ecology at undergraduate and postgraduate (Masters) levels. I generally teach ecological concepts and theories, including the development and application of mathematical models, through combinations of lectures, computer workshops and self-learning practicals and model exploration tasks.
I am currently Module Organiser for 2nd-year undergraduate module LIFE214 'Population & Community Ecology' and 3rd-year undergraduate module LIFE337 'Advanced Topics in Ecology'.
I supervise undergraduate and postgraduate research projects on various topics relating to host-parasite interactions and ecology, generally involving statistical analysis of existing data, or mathematical modelling.
