Rashid Hussain

Hello — I’m Dr Rashid Hussain (PhD, RSci, AMRSC), a computational chemist and certified Carpentries instructor with 10 years of university, industry and workshop teaching. My lessons combine clear explanations with hands-on practice so you can use what you learn, not just memorise it.

Lesson format
Online (Zoom/Teams) or in-person around West Yorkshire

10-min concept breakdown ? guided examples ? interactive problem-solving / live-coding ? quick recap & take-home tasks

Digital whiteboard, shared Jupyter notebooks, molecular-visualisation demos

After every class you receive slides, cheat-sheets, annotated code and a short video recap

Content & dynamics
Chemistry – fundamentals to advanced computational methods, exam technique and lab-simulation tools

Biology – cell biology, biotechnology and in-silico bioinformatics pipelines

Computing – Python programming, data analysis, machine learning and reproducible research workflows
Lessons are personalised: we start with a short diagnostic chat and agree measurable goals, then adapt pace and materials to your progress.

Experience you can trust
Visiting researcher & tutor at The University of Manchester

Certified Carpentries Instructor leading Python, HPC and Git workshops

12 peer-reviewed publications and multiple international conference talks

My style is friendly, Socratic and results-oriented—I ask guiding questions, encourage you to explain your reasoning, and celebrate each milestone. Past students have jumped two grade bands in a term and published their own analyses. If you’re ready to make science (and coding) clear, engaging and fun, let’s begin!
