1. Teaching Workshops: lead Carpentries workshops, which typically cover data manipulation, analysis, and visualization using programming languages like Python or R, version control with Git, and good coding practices.2. Creating a Positive Learning Environment: strive to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for learners. Encourage participation, answer questions, and support to ensure everyone feels comfortable and engaged.3. Following Carpentries Teaching Practices: follow the Carpentries teaching practices, including live coding, interactive exercises, and collaborative learning techniques. These practices aim to enhance the effectiveness of the workshops and promote active learning.4. Providing Constructive Feedback: offer constructive feedback to learners, helping them understand concepts, troubleshoot issues, and improve their coding skills. The goal is to empower learners to apply what they've learned independently.5. Continual Learning and Improvement: participate in training and community discussions to continually enhance their teaching skills. Attending instructor training programs and engaging with the Carpentries community.6. Adhering to the Carpentries Code of Conduct: Adhere to the Carpentries Code of Conduct, ensuring a respectful and inclusive learning environment for all participants.7. Contributing to the Carpentries Community: often part of a broader community of Carpentries practitioners. Contribute to lesson development, share teaching resources, and collaborate with others to improve the overall quality of Carpentries workshops.

Designing and executing experiments, analysing data, and interpreting results to draw meaningful conclusions.  MATERIAL SCIENCE: investigate the properties, behaviour, and performance of various materials. This involves synthesising new materials, characterising their structures using advanced techniques, and studying their unique properties. Additionally, modifying existing materials to optimise their functionality for specific applications. (Carbon materials, Aluminosilicate materials……….)  GASIFICATION: explore the conversion of carbonaceous materials into valuable gases. Study of the reaction conditions, catalysts, and feedstocks to maximize the efficiency and output of the gasification process. The findings will contribute to developing clean energy technologies and sustainable resource management practices. PYROLYSIS: analyze and improve the thermal decomposition of organic materials. This includes investigating the factors that affect pyrolysis reactions, such as temperature, residence time, and catalysts. Contribute to producing biofuels, biochar, and other valuable byproducts from renewable sources, enabling a shift towards a more sustainable and circular economy. HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS: Developing innovative solutions for chemical processes design and synthesis of catalyst materials, characterize their surface properties, and investigate their interactions with reactants. Studying the underlying mechanisms and kinetics of catalytic reactions.Contribution to the scientific community by publishing work in academic journals and presenting at conferences. Collaborate with industry partners, seeking opportunities to transfer research findings into real-world applications.
