ASTR101 — a fun first-year introductory astronomy course at the University of Otago, taught along with Prof. Craig Rodger. If you want to learn about the night sky, the end of the universe, or the amazing physics of black holes (which we can now see directly) consider signing up!
PHSI331 – Quantum, Atomic, and Particle physics. Taught with Dr. Danny Baillie & Dr. Niels Kjaergaard
Otago Scholarship Physics
Based on our Facebook page, I have put together a booklet of NZQA-Scholarship-level physics questions to help students study for the exam. We try to make them interesting and fun, covering a variety of different concepts. The booklet can be downloaded by clicking the image below and please get in touch if you’d like a copy of the (fully worked) solutions.
Outreach and public talks
I regularly give talks at schools or community clubs. Please get in touch if you’re interested in hearing about Black Holes, planet formation, or anything in between!
