Education

• MSc in Applied Mathematics
• PhD in Engineering

Teaching

I teach mathematics on a range of Level 8 Engineering programmes - Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical and Structural Engineering (years 2, 3 and 4).

Research

My current research interest is in mathematics education at third level. My earlier research was in computational modelling, specifically in behavioural analysis and design optimisation of micromechanical systems.
