Teaching

A general introduction to Astronomy and Astrophysics

Beyond Maxwell's equations: waves, radiation, and relativity

An introduction to statistical mechanics, including quantum statistical mechanics, phase transitions, and fluctuations

The physics of fluids and fluid flows, with examples from everyday life, astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics and elsewhere.

An introduction to quantum mechanics starting with the wavefunction and motion in 1D potentials, then moving onto operators, 3D systems and the H atom.

The second honours quantum course covering topics such as 3D potentials, atoms, identical particles, perturbation theory, scattering, and the interaction of matter and radiation.

An introduction to computational methods in Physics and how to solve Physics problems numerically

More advanced topics in quantum mechanics, such as mixed states, quantum computing, time-dependent perturbation theory and transitions, multi-particle systems and relativistic quantum mechanics

This was a special topics graduate course in Advanced Stellar Astrophysics, with classes alternating between theory and numerical exercises.

A graduate course on what different astronomical objects look like, why they look the way they do, and how to understand what observations are telling us about the underlying physics of the source.

A graduate course on the dynamics of astrophysical gas and plasma and how to understand the behaviour of astrophysical systems.

A graduate course in high energy astrophysics
