Job title:
Director of Teaching and Learning, Associate Professor

Responsibilities:

Placement co-ordinator for the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development, supporting students in all aspects of applying for 12 month work placements.
Organisation of annual SAPD Careers Fair.

Areas of interest

Crop physiology, particularly in relation to climate change
Pedagogy, including feedback and using technology to enhance learning
Student work placements and the benefits

My research interests are in crop physiology, particularly environmental (including climate change) impacts on crop growth and development. More recently, I have used crop modelleling techniques to assess the impact of a range of climate change scenarios (see publications for more details).

I am also heavily involved in pedagogic research, working closely with colleagues throughout the University of Reading and the UK, including the Higher Education Academy. I am particularly interested in assignment feedback and the use of technology to assist this.

Teaching

I co-ordinate a number of modules in the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development. I use my pedagogic research to provide a number of methods of giving feedback to my students, and often use video feedback which enables students to access detailed feedback anytime, anywhere.
