    Simulations, computer games and machine learning using physics, math, programming

    Physics, math and programming are amazing tools for creativity. I see them as hammers and saws; once you've mastered the basics, you can start building your own stuff only limited by your own creativity.

    Whether you want to build a computer game in Unity or simulate lava flowing from a volcano etc., I can help you.
    If you need some introductory level math or university level physics, I'm there too!
    I can even help you build your very first machine learning algorithm, or simply teach you how to program in the first place.

    I love to teach and have been doing it for a while! I do computational physics and statistics in bio-complexity (that's stuff like simulating ant farms or bacterial colonies etc.) and I'm currently working on my masters thesis.

    About Me

    I've always thought it was fun to play around with things I want to learn, if it wasn't fun I didn't learn it.
    I almost always have a project or a goal I want to accomplish. In music it might be learning to play a song I like, and in programming it might be building a computer game. A common theme is that I need a reason for learning, that way I can't wait to learn more about it.
    This is the way I teach. I want my students to think of a goal they want to accomplish, and then I'll teach them what they need to get there. I want them to have fun as they learn new tools to play around with.

    This method has been really helpful to me. I play 5 instruments, used to compete nationally in gymnastics and I'm currently finishing my masters in computational physics. All of this has been incredibly fun for me to do, and I hope to share this enthusiasm for learning and applying to all my students!
    Oh, and I love to teach. I really love it!

    Every child is a math genius | British tutor
    When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person. It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever. I'm eternally grateful to that teacher. My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities. Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking. Bad teachers teach every child the same way. My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself. When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar. 👉Click the blue "Contact Oliver" button above and let's discuss how we can unlock your child's mathematical talents! 😊

My research and teaching interests are diverse, including: • Additive manufacturing • Mechanical metamaterials • Acoustical metamaterials • Electromagnetic metamaterials • Aeroacoustics • Soft matter and soft robotics • Fatigue and fracture mechanics • Experimental mechanics • Multiscale numerical modelling • Biomaterials • Porous materials • Manufacturing of medical devices and implants • Deep learning • Image processing • Topology optimization • Origami and Kirigami structures • Self-folding and self-assembly structures • Tissue engineering • Permeability in porous materials • Fluid-Solid Interaction I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter. If you have any additional questions before starting a class, please feel free to ask me. I am here to assist! :)

    Private coding / programming lessons with python
    Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning. This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied. As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others. I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly. Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
