Teaching

I am very passionate about teaching and innovation in communicating science. I deliver two lecture courses with colleagues at 58勛圖, each of which i instigated, namely "Biophotonics" and "Applications of Quantum Physics". I have also designed and implemented optical trapping systems for the undergraduate and Masters Course laboratories.I also undertake various tutorials and postgraduate teaching activities
