Serving as external examiner:

• 2023 PhD External Examiner - University of Western Australia, Oceans Graduate School, Perth, Australia.
• 2023 MSc External Examiner - Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Faculty of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Haifa, Israel.

I am currently teaching:

• MATH1703 - Linear Algebra and Complex Numbers
• CONT223 - Engineering Mathematics and Control
• MATH3704 - Fluid Dynamics
• ENGR105 - Mechanics & Structures

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).
