I believe that teaching in the biomedical and neuroscientific fields must be both intellectually rigorous and deeply relevant to contemporary scientific challenges. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the conviction that learning flourishes when students are encouraged to think critically, engage actively, and apply knowledge beyond disciplinary boundaries.
I am a strong advocate for multidisciplinary approaches, recognising that meaningful advances in neuroscience and medical sciences increasingly arise from the integration of diverse perspectives, including those from biology, mathematics, exercise science, data science, and the humanities. In both content delivery and assessment, I encourage students to draw connections across fields, fostering the kind of flexible, analytical thinking that is essential in modern research and clinical environments.
In the classroom, I prioritise clarity, inclusivity, and conceptual depth. I strive to create a learning environment that is supportive yet challenging, where students feel confident to question, explore, and contribute. I adapt my teaching methods to accommodate varied learning styles, while remaining committed to academic integrity and scientific accuracy.
Supervision and mentorship are central to my teaching practice. I view these roles not only as opportunities to support students in developing technical skills, but as a platform to nurture independent thinking, ethical reasoning, and sustained curiosity.
Ultimately, I aim to equip students with the knowledge, critical tools, and interdisciplinary perspective required to navigate complex scientific questions and contribute meaningfully to research, clinical practice, and society.
