Biography
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Otago in 2000 for research in which I investigated the dynamics of Bose Einstein condensates. This work was completed under the supervision of Professor Rob Ballagh.
I was employed by the Department of Physics as a Teaching Fellow in 2000 and became a Senior Teaching Fellow in 2003. In my time at the department I have developed an interest in Physics Education and have recently published in this area.
