Teaching:

• In the Autumn Term 2011 I taught Mathematical Techniques for CS.
• In the Spring Term 2012 I teach, jointly with Hayo Thielecke, Principles of Programming Languages.
• I am Course Director and Admissions Tutor for the Intercalated Year in Computer Science. We usually run an open day in February. You can also contact me about this via email.
