  • University of Cambridge, St. John’s College (UK, 2002): supervisions in Principles of Dynamics (Part II), General Relativity (Part II), Complex Analysis (part Ib), Applications of Quantum Mechanics (Part II);
  • University of Heidelberg (DE, 1991-1996): Lectures in Mathematischen Methoden II, Tutorials in Theoretische Physik II (Electromagnetism), Theoretische Physik III (Quantum Mechanics), Theoretusche Physik IV (Statistical Physics) & Seminar Relativistische Quantenmechanik;

I am a fully qualified and certified physics teacher for secondary education in the Netherlands and I have taught secondary school physics & mathematics to A-levels equivalent at:

  • Cals College, Nieuwegein (1996);
  • Dr DeBruyne Lyceum, Utrecht (1997);
  • James Bosswell Instituut, Utrecht (1997);

Research

My current research projects fall into three categories:

  • Applications of physics-inspired methods in computational economics (Econophysics);
  • The Philosophy and Economics of Science;
  • Environmental Economics: environment & economy interactions and climate change;

If you would like to do a project in any of these fields as a BSc or MSc dissertation in Economics, Physics or Mathematics then just get in touch with me via Email.
