Staff profile

, course leader

“In my role as a course leader I make a conscious effort to bring real-world examples and experiences into the classroom, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications. Engaging with current industry trends, challenges and innovations allows me to provide students with valuable insights that extend beyond the textbook. Additionally, I maintain an active presence in professional networks, fostering collaborations and partnerships that can enhance the learning experience for my students.

“Our students engage extremely well in practical, hands-on learning from industry visits and guest lectures to design and build projects and participating in competitions. Students also have opportunities to get involved in diverse and impactful research projects, applying their theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. Recent examples of student involvement include students contributing to the optimisation of a communication protocol for a low-power, long range wireless sensor network and a research initiative focused on developing a real-time algorithm for the early detection of anomalies in ECG signals.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching undergraduates lies in witnessing the transformative journey as students navigate through their academic pursuits. The joy stems from facilitating the acquisition of knowledge and skills, fostering critical thinking and observing students evolve into capable, enthusiastic professionals. The vibrant interactions with students, their diverse perspectives and the collaborative learning environment create a dynamic and enriching atmosphere that adds a sense of purpose and excitement to the teaching experience.”
