About me
After spending 15 years teaching physics in secondary schools in the West Midlands area, Dan is now Associate Professor of Physics Education at the University of Birmingham as well as a DPhil research student at the University of Oxford. Dan works on widening access to physics at undergraduate level to people from all backgrounds and trains new secondary physics teachers. He enjoys encouraging and equipping physics teachers in schools to inspire their pupils to study physics. In terms of research, Dan is currently trying to understand the recruitment and retention issues in physics education better to look for new ways of encouraging more and a more diverse range of people to consider physics teaching as a career.
