BIO
I teach fluid mechanics, develop laboratory teaching sessions, and more generally explore new ways of delivering undergraduate education.

More about me
Background
I studied Mechanical Engineering at UCL and Columbia University, and then a PhD in Fluid Dynamics at UCL, applied to tidal stream turbines. I worked as Assistant Professor at Nazarbayev University for 16 months, teaching Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Systems Design. I worked for Schlumberger in the oil and gas industry as a field engineer in Siberia and a Research Scientist in Cambridge, with a focus on Electric Submersible Pumps, and multiphase flow measurement. I joined Imperial in 2018 to pursue my love of education and fluid mechanics – with a hope to eventually work both as a teacher and an engineer.
Personal Development
I’ve completed the PG Diploma in University Learning and Teaching (PGDip ULT), in which my library project took a historical look at why we often see a gap between our academic teaching and its practical application. I’m currently working on the MEd, looking at student experience of tutorials, contrasting experience online and in-person, discovering a rich and diverse range of perspectives through art therapy (painting, sculpture) and informing our views on what inclusivity really means.
