Teaching and supervision
In spring 2018 I was teaching the QMUL course Physical Cosmology.
I also supervise undergraduate research projects and co-supervise PhD students.
Earlier, I've been a teacher on the QMUL course
Mathematical Techniques 2 (spring 2017)
and on the U. Helsinki courses
General Relativity (spring 2016)
Analytical Mechanics (fall 2015)
Cosmology I-II (fall 2014)
Mathematical Methods I-II (falls 2011-2013)
Radiation fields and Photons (spring 2013)
Thermophysics (falls 2011 and 2012)
Waves and fields (spring 2012)
Electrodynamics (spring 2011)
