PG Teaching
Co-director of the Warwick CDT in Diamond Science & Technology managing the taught aspects of the training programme.
UG Teaching
Co-lead on the physics final year research projects managing the online learning environment.
Seminar leader for PX376: Communicating Science developing transferable skills and training students in communicating effectively to different target audiences.
Research
Our laser machining facility consists of two Oxford Lasers systems: the E-Series (34 ns, 355 nm Nd:YAG) and the A-Series (15 ns, 532 nm Nd:YAG), both fitted with high-resolution CNC stages. These systems are capable of drilling, cutting and milling a wide variety of materials with high precision.
Outreach
Through our outreach events we hope to inspire more people to become interested in science and nurture the fascination in the younger generation with the hope that one day they may wish to pursue a career in the sciences.
