As an educator, I strive to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students can explore the intersection of AI, data science, and human-computer interaction. My teaching philosophy emphasises hands-on learning, critical thinking, and real-world applications. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), recognised by Advance UK, for my commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.
I guided Master's students in the Human-Centred AI program through the complexities of developing AI systems that are not only effective but also transparent, fair, and trustworthy. We explored key concepts like interpretability, bias mitigation, and responsible AI development, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the ethical challenges of AI in the real world.
In this course, I introduced undergraduate Data Science students to the foundational concepts and cutting-edge techniques of Deep Learning. We explored a wide range of topics, including neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs).
This course equipped Master's students with the essential skills and knowledge to conduct rigorous and impactful research. We covered a wide range of research methodologies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. Students learned about research design, data collection techniques, data analysis methods, and ethical considerations in research.
This project-based course provided students with the opportunity to apply their engineering and technology knowledge to solve a real-world challenge. Working in teams, students engaged in all phases of the engineering design process, from problem identification and needs analysis to design, prototyping, testing, and evaluation.
This course provided undergraduate students with a comprehensive overview of the essential tools and technologies used by data scientists. We explored a wide range of software, programming languages, and platforms, including Python, R, SQL, cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud), and big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark).
This course introduced students to the principles and practices of Human-Centred Design (HCD), an iterative process that prioritizes understanding user needs and preferences throughout the design and development process. We explored key HCD methodologies such as user research, empathy mapping, prototyping, and user testing.
