Teaching

Teaching and learning

My teaching connects fundamental physics with its applications in medicine, supported by interactive resources that help students explore and understand the underlying principles.

Teaching responsibilities

Modules and roles

Medical Applications of Physics (MAP)

Cross-campus module lead across RCSI Dublin, Bahrain and Penang.

Thermoregulation, Special Senses, Endocrine System, Reproductive System (TSH)

Teaching contributor at RCSI Bahrain, covering physics within the module.

Cardiovascular System, Biological Fluids, Renal Function (CFR)

Teaching contributor at RCSI Bahrain, covering physics within the module.

Medical Applications of Physics

MAP teaching resources

Open the simulation collection, choose a topic and explore it at your own pace. Change a setting and observe its effect.

MechanicsUltrasoundLasers & optics

Learning through exploration

Try. Observe. Explain.

Before moving a slider, predict what will happen. Change one setting, watch the result and explain it in your own words.

These resources support revision alongside lectures and tutorials. The models simplify real systems to make the underlying physics easier to explore.
