Teaching

I am currently teaching:

  • MATH1703 - Linear Algebra and Complex Numbers
  • CONT222 - Engineering Mathematics and Control
  • MATH3704 - Fluid Dynamics

I also support various modules using the Digital Assessment Tool Mobius Assessment. I have previously taught undergraduate courses in ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as a a graduate course and a graduate seminar series on nonlinear waves (the latter jointly between Tel Aviv University & Technion - Israel Institute of Technology).
