I secured my first full time academic post at BNU in January 2020, having completed my PhD thesis in Computer Science Education Research (CSEd) in November 2019. Informed by ongoing pedagogical research, I now lead tutor teams to deliver modules in programming, data structures and algorithms, data science and machine learning across BNU’s Computing cluster, in addition to coordinating undergraduate dissertation supervision. I am a member of BNU’s Computing and AI research group, working to customise AI models for teaching and learning at BNU, and working with PhD candidates in this area.
External to BNU, I am a Departmental Lecturer at Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE). Since the 2024/25 academic year, I’ve had the privilege of working under Professor David J Malan to deliver Harvard’s CS50 course through the OUDCE. CS50 has nearly seven million enrolments on edX and has enabled many to start their careers in STEM.
I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), an AdvanceHE certified External Examiner, and a Professional Member of the British Computing Society (MBCS). As part of my ongoing professional development, I am working towards being recognised as a Fellow of the British Computing Society (FBCS).
