Profile
I have extensive academic experience in teaching and administration in The School of Computing at The University of Leeds. Teaching mainly focused on discrete optimisation and theoretical computer science. I was the departmental Senior Undergraduate Admissions Tutor for 10 years, responsible for all aspects of student recruitment. I was also the departmental Examinations Officer, responsible for ensuring that University Codes of Practice were adhered to for teaching and assessment. At University level I contributed to working parties on personal development planning, ethics in teaching, classification techniques, and consolidating processes. I have acted as the project manager on a successful major grant involving Leeds University, Rolls Royce, and Cybula. I have also contributed to the curriculum design of a joint teaching venture between Southwest Jiaotong University and the Faculty of Engineering. Alongside my work at the University, I am a self-employed consultant undertaking administrative duties as the Manager of EURO – The Association of European Operational Research Societies. Since 2012 I have also graded AS and A Level Mathematics papers for OCR.
