I am an experienced tutor. I give lectures on Digital Electronics (6 lectures) as part of the MPHYGB20 Medical Electronics and Control course to master students. I am an expert in 3D design and provide support to the students during the technical drawing classes. In addition, I am an academic tutor for 1st and 2nd year students.

In the past, I worked as a Laboratory and Tutorial demonstrator for more than three years. I instructed all-year students in the introductory and intermediate level optics, electricity, thermodynamics and communication courses. I assisted students in solving problems, clarifying concepts, thus dramatically increasing their grades and performance in the subjects tutored.

Moreover, I was trained and worked with disable students assisting them to organize study time, providing scribing, typing and reading help when it was needed.

I have excellent verbal and written communication skills. Over the last 10 years I have had the opportunity to present my experimental results at group meetings and during international conferences for the large audiences such as CLEO-Europe and CLEO-US. In 2011 I was nominated to represent the University of Dundee at the Scottish University Physics Alliance (SUPA) Annual General meeting and speak about my research achievements.

I have been actively engaged in numerous public outreach events in the programme “Sharing Science” organized by the University of Dundee. I undertook public communication training at the University. I have been touring Scotland with optics demonstrations. With my enthusiasm I captured the interest not only of the public but also of the journalists that were around and got press coverage in the local newspaper.

As a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Ambassador I participated in Science Festivals preparing and demonstrating the experiments of exciting phenomena related with optics and lasers to members of the public across the country and developed my own show “Magic Light” for young people. I was also invited be one of the judges at K’Nex final in the Perth/Dundee area.

Due to my friendly nature I interact well with people and as the result I have been awarded the D'Arcy Thompson Prize for excellence in Public Engagement.
