Key Research Interests
My academic background is as a molecular microbiologist and I published papers on iron acquisition in the Rhizobium:Legume symbiosis. I conduct pedagogical research in areas including research-led teaching, transition from school to university, assessment and feedback and skills acquisition. I have been successful in obtaining grants for pedagogical research and teaching initiatives from e.g. Higher Education Academy (now Advance-HE). I am especially interested in research-led teaching and I led a research project investigating pupils’ perceptions of research funded by a UKRI grant ‘School-University Partnerships Initiative’, this led to several publications and conference presentations.
Former Research Projects
- RCUK funded project on School:University Partnerships
- Assessing the impact of student feedback
- Assessing the impact of science communication projects on skill acquisition
