SUPERVISION AND TEACHING SUMMARy

I currently teach a graduate level course in bioinformatics, second year operations research, and contribute to a miscellany of other topics such as probability and statistics for engineering students, applied statistics and modelling for senior statistics students, and discrete mathematics and mathematical biology at honours level.
In the past I have taught evolutionary biology at Oxford University and a great deal of software development and computer science, (and bioinformatics) at Sydney University.
