Current teaching
- The Relativistic Universe (S383) I chair this module, which covers special and general relativity, and extreme environment astrophysics. It takes our students as close to the cutting edge in research as it is possible to achieve in an undergraduate degree in this area.
- Science project course: radiation and matter I am a member of the module team, currently reviewing literature review project proposals from students.
- Postgraduate lectures I give a few postgraduate lectures to our current Ph.D./M.Phil. cohort.
Previous teaching
- Galaxies, Stars and Planets (S177 and SG077) I chaired the production of this entry-level astronomy module and chaired the first few presentations.
- Astronomy (S282) I wrote some of the second edition of the module textbook, An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology
- Astrophysics (S382) I was a critical reader for this module material and was a member of the team for its first presentation.
- Space, Time and Cosmology (S357)
I chaired this third level undergraduate course, which introduced cosmology based on General Relativity, black holes, the microwave background, and the fate of the Universe.
- The Energetic Universe (S381) I was a member of the course team on this third level undergraduate course. It covered the life and death of stars, interacting binary stars, and active galaxies.
- Exploring Science (S104) I prepared part of Book 2 of our foundation year science course - which means, I wrote some stuff but borrowed very heavily from the previous S103 course!
- Observing the Universe (SXR208) This was our residential summer school in observational astronomy, held in Mallorca. I tutored at this at least once a year.
- Physics by Experiment (SXR207) This was our second-level physics experiment summer school, held in Durham. I tutored at this about once a year.
