Overview
Background
My research interests are in the field of Chemistry education, particularly how students learn in the chemistry laboratory.
I teach biological inorganic chemistry at a second and Masters level, as well as a broad range of topics in first year chemistry. I also teach the ethics of chemistry in second year.

Chemistry education
I am interested in the ways that students learn to communicate Chemistry and how the barriers to effective learning in Chemistry can be reduced. I have a particular interest in learning in the laboratory setting.
