Professional Activities
Undergraduate Teaching
- Since 2012, as well as in 2008, I taught half the advanced course “Math Methods”. This was a fourth year honours course up until 2012, and since 2013 it has been a Masters course, PHYS701. I gave all lectures for this part of the course, set assignments, provided notes and set the exam.
- In 2015 managed tutorial classes for PHYS143, running tutorials and organising two junior tutors.
- In 2007 I gave lectures and set assignment questions for part of a fourth year honours course on quantum information at Macquarie University.
- I also set questions for an informal reading course on quantum information for PhD students in 2007.
- In the first semester of 2007 I organised problem solving sessions on quantum information.
- I taught a component of a fourth year honours course at Macquarie University in 2003. I gave a series of lectures on Fourier analysis, set assignments and set an exam question.
- I gave a lecture on quantum algorithms as part of an honours course at Macquarie University in 2002.
- As a Tutorial Assistant at the University of Queensland in 1999 I wrote the laboratory manual for a course on engineering physics. I organised tutors to supervise the experiments and supervised experiments myself.
