LEARNING & TEACHING SUMMARy
I have a long history of teaching computer science, data science and machine learning. As well as teaching a dozen units units, I've written tutorials ranging from introductory Python material, Bayesian inference and machine learning for honours-level Physicists to the capstone unit for the University of Sydney's Business Analytics masters program.
I currently supervise three PhD students, Stephanie Rossini-Bryson, Max Charles and Matteo Colombo, who work on identifying exoplanets with a nulling interferometer, using automatic differentiation to reconstruct images from the AMI instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope and finding methane on exoplanets with photonics, respectively.
