Teaching & supervision

Courses, students & mentoring

I supervise students at PhD, MSc, and BSc levels and contribute to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My supervision focuses on computational methods, machine learning approaches, and NMR spectroscopy in materials chemistry.
