Teaching

 At present I do not have any teaching duties.
As a research fellow at Radboud University Nijmegen, during the Spring Semester 2012-13 and the Winter Semester 2013-14 I taught:
  • Introduction to Partial Differential Equations (60 UE).
As a research fellow at the University of Luxembourg, during the Winter Semester 2011-12 I taught:
  • Algebra I; jointly with Dr Chiara Pagani (in French, 60 UE in total)
During my graduate and postgraduate years at the University of Oxford (2000-07) I gained quite a lot of teaching experience.
Upon finishing my PhD I took a stipendiary lectureship in pure mathematics at Pembroke College, Oxford (2005-07), where I gave tutorials (usually 12 hours per week) to small groups of two to three undergraduates, as well as intercollegiate classes (usually two hours per week) to groups of up to 12 undergraduate and master level students.
    • In my final year as a graduate student (2003-04) I held a non-stipendiary lectureship in pure mathematics at St Anne’s College, with similar teaching responsibilities (8-10 hours per week);
    • For several years I taught a significant proportion of the applied mathematics syllabus at Mansfield College;
    • In my early graduate career, I acted as a Teaching Assistant in various sets of intercollegiate classes at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford.

Here is a (reasonably comprehensive) list of the courses that I taught in Oxford tutorials and classes, most of them more than once:
