Format of the Lesson
Facilitating Interactive Discussions: I promote open dialogue to encourage students to ask questions and express their thoughts, fostering a deeper understanding of complex subjects through collaboration.

Structured Lesson Modules: Lessons are structured into focused modules that cover essential topics such as taxonomy, molecular systematics, and bioinformatics. Each module encompasses a mix of theoretical concepts and practical applications.

Utilization of Multimedia Resources: Various resources like videos, presentations, and scientific articles are employed to enhance engagement and comprehension.

Incorporation of Hands-On Activities: I include hands-on exercises and case studies, particularly in genetic analysis and data modeling, allowing students to apply concepts in real-world scenarios.

Regular Provision of Feedback: Constructive feedback on assignments and projects is given to help students improve and deepen their understanding of the subject matter.

Content and Dynamics
Adoption of a Personalized Approach: Content is tailored to meet individual learning styles and needs, ensuring that each student feels included and engaged.

Emphasis on Critical Thinking: Analytical and critical thinking skills are emphasized to encourage students to tackle problem-solving tasks and engage in meaningful discussions.

Integration of Current Trends: The latest research and developments in biodiversity, evolution, and bioinformatics are integrated to keep students informed and inspired.

Academic Knowledge
Establishment of a Strong Foundation: With an MSc in Taxonomy, Biodiversity, and Evolution from Imperial College London and a PG Diploma in Bioinformatics, I have a deep understanding of both theoretical frameworks and practical methodologies in the biological sciences.

Research Experience: My research work, including my master’s thesis on forensic sex determination and projects on protein modeling, equips me with practical knowledge that I share with students.

Technical Proficiency: Extensive experience with programming languages such as R and Python, along with various bioinformatics tools and statistical software, allows me to teach students how to leverage technology in their research.

Publication and Conference Participation: Having published research and attended multiple conferences, I stay current with scientific advancements and encourage students to engage with the broader academic community.

Experience
Diverse Background: My academic and practical experience in life sciences, bioinformatics, and data analysis enriches the lessons I provide.

Integration of Research and Practical Applications: I draw on my experience in various research projects to provide students with insights into both theoretical knowledge and practical application, bridging the gap between learning and real-world experience.

Overall, my aim is to create a supportive and stimulating learning environment where students feel motivated to explore and excel in their studies, guided by my academic knowledge and experience. If you have specific topics in mind or learning goals, I’m here to help you achieve them!
