Overview
I teach extensively on our PGT programmes, which currently include the MSc Physics, MSc Astrophysics, MSc Data-Intensive Physics, MSc Data-Intensive Astrophysics, MSc Gravitational Wave Physics, and MSc Compound Semiconductor Physics. I have won multiple institutional, national, and international awards for excellence and innovation in teaching, and I am regularly invited to speak on physics education and teaching excellence at international conferences.

Biography
I am a Reader and National Teaching Fellow at Cardiff University School of Physics and Astronomy. I have previously held lecturing positions at Cardiff University School of Biosciences and Swansea University Department of Physics and research fellowships at the University of Southampton and Complutense University of Madrid. I completed my PhD in physics entitled "Development of a Raman System for In-Line Monitoring of Tritium at the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) Experiment" at Swansea University in 2007.
I am a Member and Chartered Physicist of the Institute of Physics and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
