About Me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with a passion for teaching programming and Robotics. In my research I primarily work with social robots, and algorithms that can teach them to behave in a way we can better relate to.

I have been a supervisor, teaching assistant, and module designer on a university level for a variety of programming courses, primarily using Python as a language.

In 2018-19 I supervised students on both Bachelor and Master’s level based on Aalborg University's Problem Based Learning model. I taught the Artificial Intelligence Programming (6th semester) module where lectures related to neural networks, and held lectures within the Advanced Data Structures and Software Engineering (8th semester) module, and TA-ed for programming and electronics courses.

In 2021-2023 I created the optional online module titled Getting started with Python for the Department of Informatics and taught programming as a TA in mandatory modules such as Introduction to Robotics (2nd and 3rd Semester) and Data Mining (8th Semester).

I have hands-on knowledge and teaching experience for which I received a Teacher of the Year Award in 2019 during my year of supervision at Aalborg University, and have been the runner-up for the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award in Informatics in 2022 at King's College London.

Hi!

Welcome to my class on Python programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I use Python everyday in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Python and explore its diverse capabilities together!

For beginners:
I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you!

For intermediate users:
If you already know the basics of Python but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are! I am a professional user of Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, os, scipy and many more packages!

Are you not sure Python is the right language for you? Check the following out and let me know if you have any questions!

First of all, what is Python? According to its creator, Guido van Rossum, Python is a:

“high-level programming language, and its core design philosophy is all about code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in a few lines of code.”

Learning Python is a rewarding experience for several reasons. Firstly, Python is inherently beautiful as a programming language, offering a natural and expressive way to translate your thoughts into code. Its readability and simplicity make coding an enjoyable and intuitive process.

The Python language finds applications across various domains, including data science, web development, machine learning and AI. For example, platforms like Quora, Pinterest, and Spotify leverage Python for their backend web development!

This versatility makes Python a powerful tool for those eager to delve into different aspects of programming. If this caught your curiosity message me and I'll make you a Python hero! Welcome to the community!

Greetings! I am a geospatial analyst at Transport for London and I specialise in building and running Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through different technologies. As part of my specialisation, I teach and assist early and mid-career geographers with GIS, specifically how to retrieve and create data, run any type of geospatial analysis and interpret the results.

I work in both QGIS and ArcGIS environments and I would be more than happy to help with specific projects the students have in mind, if applicable. Otherwise, I have student-focused study programmes that provide the foundations as well as more advanced knowledge and skills.

Feel free to contact me for a chat!
