Current teaching responsibilities, University of Portsmouth

​

• Biodiversity and Evolution (level 4). Origin of Life, introduction to systematics and phylogeny, introduction to evolution, origin of the vertebrate skeleton. Module contributor (osteology, tetrapods, fossils, early vertebrates) (2022 - present), with Frank Schubert and David M. Martill, University of Portsmouth (England, UK), School of the Environment, Geography and Geological Sciences.

• Early Vertebrate Evolution (level 5). Early evolution of major vertebrate groups (e.g., fish, amphibians), the rise of tetrapods (emphasis on non-dinosaurian reptiles) and secondary aquatic adaptations in reptiles. Module coordinator (2021 - present), with David M. Martill, University of Portsmouth (England, UK), School of the Environment, Geography and Geological Sciences.

• Dinosaurs and Mammals (level 6). Origin, diversity, anatomy, and systematics of dinosaurs and mammals; Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Module coordinator (2021 - present), with David M.
