Teaching & Supervision
I have experience delivering lectures and seminars on health psychology, behaviour change principles, and the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions to BSc and MSc students. I have supervised dissertation projects for MSc Behaviour Change and MSc Health Psychology students at UCL, and through UCL's Behavioural Insights Exchange (BIX) program, where students apply behavioural science to real-world challenges in collaboration with partner organisations such as the NHS. Additionally, I have served as both a primary and secondary marker for MSc coursework and dissertations.
​
Beyond UCL, I have been invited to be a lecturer on the MSc Modelling for Global Health program at Oxford University, where I deliver a full day of teaching. Most recently, this included a lecture on "Extending Point Pattern Analysis in the Presence of Covariates and its Application to Obesity Research," as well as a hands-on practical session, where I guided students in conducting these analyses using R Studio and provided individual support in troubleshooting their code.
