Discipline: Engineering

About me: I am a lecturer in chemical engineering in the Engineering Department of Lancaster University. My area of research interests is in the field of green chemistry and sustainable technology. I engage with student-centred teaching within chemical engineering subjects. In 2017, I was awarded with the Pilkington Teaching Award (Lancaster University), in recognition for my excellent teaching and for the implementation of the innovative practice of team-based learning

Interest in TBL: TBL in engineering disciplines and influence of TBL on diversity.
