I am the module convenor for COMP3012 Compilers (and soon its 20 credit replacement) and COMP4040 Project in Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures. I also support practical teaching across a number of other modules.

I am interested in how students learn to think 'programatically' and how people build working mental models of programs and computer systems. Compilers is an excellent case study for this as it requires students to synthesise areas of knowledge from across computer science.
