TEACHING EXPERTISE
I teach a range of topics in artificial intelligence, including reinforcement learning, deep learning and machine learning. I am passionate about developing intuitive and engaging teaching and assessment approaches that minimise unnecessary cognitive load and help students focus on the key concepts being learned, while maintaining sufficient depth of knowledge. I also develop and incorporate custom-built generative AI tools to provide students with more personalised, interactive and effective learning experiences.
