I am also involved in the teaching, assessment, and development of modules in the mathematics department—this includes some modules that are part of the engineering and computer science undergraduate programmes.

I have supervised the following undergraduate final year projects:

• `Where Do You Draw The Line? Optimal Gerrymandering in Northern Ireland'
• `Developing A System That Can Play Noughts And Crosses Effectively'
• `The Game of Hex and Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem'
• `An analysis on the emergence of the Black-Scholes formula in application to corporate liabilities'
• `Contributing Factors to Mathematics Anxiety in Undergraduate Students'
• `Maxwell's Equations'

I have supervised the following Master's dissertations:

• `Analysis of European Call Options Using R Shiny'

Research projects

• November 2021 – November 2023: Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Vitaccess.

I was a PhD at Lancaster University working with Andrey Lazarev. Following that, I was a Postdoctural Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn; and now I am here at Oxford Brookes University.
