Here at Newcastle University, I teach on the BSc Computer Science’s second-year module CSC2034: Introducing Contemporary Topics in Computing, for which I run the Quantum Computing topic, plus teach academic skills (how to research, how to do academic writing, how to read an academic paper, etc). I am also the Module Leader for our new third-year module CSC3132: Introduction to Quantum Computing (returning Semester 1 2025/26), and am developing a new third-year module on Quantum Algorithms (CSC3133).
I currently supervise a PhD candidate, Viktorija Bezganovic, as well as 3 MSc Advanced Computer Science students for their Project and Dissertation (CSC8499), and 3 final-year BSc Computer Science students for their Project and Dissertation (CSC3094). I have previously supervised two MSc Computer Science students for their Project and Dissertation (CSC8099), and one PhD student, James Byrne, for his three-month first-year project at the University of Bristol’s Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Engineering. I have also co-supervised 7 final-year BSc Psychology students cross-faculty for their Empirical Project (PSY3097) with my collaborator Dr Barbara-Anne Robertson.
Previous:
Hiroshima University: During my postdoctoral fellowship, I informally co-supervised an undergraduate project student, an MSc project student (with whom I am currently writing a paper), and two PhD students, Ming Ji (with whom I have published two papers, and am currently writing a third), and Tomonori Matsushita (with whom I have a paper at review, and who is applying for Fellowships to work with me at Newcastle). I also co-supervised a first-year student at Bristol’s Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training for a three-month project. Alongside this, I ran the Quantum Frontier Group Bachelors’ and Masters’ Students Weekly Informal English Practice for Semesters 1 and 2 2023-24
University of Bristol: I served as a Graduate Teacher Level 1 and 2 (Teaching Assistant) for over 400 hours on 8 separate units across the School of Physics, Department of Engineering Maths and Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This included significant solo teaching in mathematics for physicists and engineers, and in quantum mechanics and quantum information. While doing this, I passed the PGCert Academic Practice unit AFACM0019: Engaging Higher Education Students in their Learning (University of Bristol, 30 credits), and so earned Associate Fellowship of the UK’s Advance-HE. The units I taught on were: Lines and Waves (EENG25000) Teaching Assistant – TB2 2021-22; Quantum Mechanics 1 and 2 (part of PHYS20028 and PHYS20029 respectively) Teaching Assistant – TB1 and TB2 2021-22; Engineering Mathematics 1 (EMAT10100) and 2 (EMAT20200) Drop-Ins Tutor – TB1 and TB2 2020-21; TB1 and TB2 2021-22; Essential Maths for Physics (PHYS11400) Seminar Tutor – TB2 2020-21; Core Physics 1: Mechanics and Matter (PHYS10006) and Core Physics 2: Oscillations, Waves and Fields (PHYS10005) Workshop Marker – TB1 and TB2 2020-21
