Lecturer, Physics & Nanotechnology

"I've always been interested in the world around me and studying physics has been a way to really appreciate how things work. I’m passionate about physics, nanotechnology and renewable energy. As a researcher in physics and nanotechnology I have been able to experience some cutting-edge and extremely exciting science. I relish the opportunity and challenge of teaching in the field of physics as a way to pass on knowledge and, hopefully, some of the passion."
