Teaching

My teaching spans undergraduate through doctoral level in university, national-school and international-programme settings. I use a student-centred approach that combines clear lectures with tutorials, assignments and research-led projects. Technology supports both face-to-face and online delivery, while advanced courses draw directly on current work in gravitation and cosmology.
