I have hosted numerous workshops for academics and professionals in the past.
I have designed and hosted a series of Cloud-based workshops on the topics of:
Single Cell RNA Analytics. Which was hosted at the University of Sydney, Bioinformatics Summer 2019 and Cornell University. An accompany wiki page is here.
R, RStudio and Tidyverse. Which was hosted at Bioinformatics Summer 2019.
I was an instructor for a R-workshop for the meat industry in 2017 & 2018.
I was a Postgraduate Teaching Fellow (similar to an Associated Lecturer) at the University of Sydney between 2016 and 2019. My general responsibilities include:
Since 2015, I have tutored courses in mathematics, statistics and data science as listed below. In addition, I was a lecturer for selected courses (in bold).
