Experience

• 

  University of the West Indies: Cavehill

  Jan 2008 - Jan 2008

  Undergraduate Research Assistant

  I used computational and mathematical techniques to model biological evolution.

• 

  University of Guelph

  Sept 2008 - Apr 2014

  Studying the dynamics of block copolymer melts. Specifically, I examined the nature of the disordered phase, which occurs at high temperatures, and transitions between ordered phases, which occur once the melts cool. Designed and delivered coarse material to large classes of undergraduate students. This included leading tutorials; supervising labs; marking labs, quizzes and exams; one-on-one help; designing quizzes; and similar duties involved in helping students successfully learn physics.
