Addysgu
Principle responsibilities
My role as Senior lecturer in Dental technology and Biomaterials Science is to organise, plan and facilitate the learning of prosthodontics dental technology and biomaterial sciences, for undergraduate dental students at the School of Dentistry.
- I provide laboratory and didactic teaching of Prosthodontic Dentistry for dental undergraduates.
- I assist in the development of the undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Prosthodontics and Biomaterial Science.
- I participate in research reviewing advances in pedagogy, e-learning and emerging teaching technologies for the development of teaching in relation to Prosthodontics and Biomaterial Sciences.
- I assist in the provision of various dental applainces for undergraduate patient work within Removable Prosthodontics
I am also actively involved in the lecture programmes of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, Biomaterial Science and Professionalism, Law, Ethics and Communication Skills programme.
Overall I contribute to an inspirational, challenging and inclusive student learning experience that prepares students for the challenges of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics.
Research Theme
Dental Education, Schoolarship and Innovation
Research & Commercial Funding
As a team member of the Microbial Diseases Research Group I have been involved in the development of a joint collaborative research proposal with several industrial partners and we have been able to develop innovating medical devices. There has been established a long-standing relationship with various industrial and commercial partners, with the aims to enhance clinical innovation into improvements in medical devices and biomaterials. The group has access to a wide range of state-of-the-art experimental techniques which enable our researchers to develop, test and optimise promising new materials.
