TEACHING EXPERTISE
Dr Angel A. J. Torriero teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry, with a focus on research-informed, practice-oriented learning. His teaching develops practical laboratory skills, scientific reasoning, critical evaluation, and professional readiness, aligned with contemporary chemical practice.
He has led sustained curriculum and assessment reform, including flipped and cloud-based self-directed learning, competency-based laboratory assessment, direct evaluation of practical skills, and structured integration of generative AI into scientific education. His approach requires students to connect chemical theory with experimental evidence, evaluate uncertainty, and develop the judgment needed for professional laboratory and analytical work.
This work has received School recognition for teaching innovation and was acknowledged in the 2025 RACI accreditation review, which highlighted his contribution to developing students’ ethical and effective use of AI in scientific practice. His integrated teaching and research approach connects rigorous electrochemical science with authentic laboratory learning, graduate capability and preparation for contemporary scientific careers.
