The Institute for Astronomy offers a variety of Astrophysics courses for University of Edinburgh undergraduates. Full details of these courses, and how to apply to study Astrophysics in Edinburgh, can be found here

I teach Semester 1 of the Astrophysics 3 lecture course (course details can be found here), which provides a broad introduction to Astrophysics for 3rd year Astrophysics undergraduates. Students in other flavours of Physics can take this as an option in later years. I also supervise undergraduate research projects for 4th and 5th year students.

I am the Head Director of Studies for Physics and Astronomy students. A collection of resources for Directors of Studies is available here, while students may find the lists of resources on this page useful.

I also give public and general interest talks.
