Teaching

1. 2024/25 St Anne's College, Oxford

   Awarded the Graduate Development Scholarship (GDS) in a competitive application. As a scholar, I taught the Oxford Physics mathematical methods (A2), Quantum Mechanics and Further Quantum Mechanics courses (A3). I prepared collections and interviewed prospective students during admissions.

2. 2023/24 Balliol College, Oxford

   Taught the Atomic and Laser Physics (B3) course.

3. 2023/24 Mansfield College, Oxford

   Prepared two four-hour courses for visiting students, one on vector calculus, and the other on quantum mechanics. I delivered lectures and assessed the students.

4. 2021/22 Imperial College London

   Lab demonstrator.
