Tim Chisholm

Delivered classes on “The foundations of organic synthesis” and “Aromatic heterocycles and medicinal chemistry” to third and fourth year chemistry students. I assisted in preparation of teaching material, and marked assignments and past examination papers.

Laboratory demonstrator for first year undergraduate chemists at the University of Cambridge. Responsible for directing 7-hour classes through a series of experiments, clearly communicating new and challenging theoretical concepts and practical techniques, managing safety, providing real-time feedback, and marking laboratory reports and experiment results.

Research associate investigating the application of flow chemistry to peptide and protein science.

Laboratory demonstrator for first year undergraduate chemistry. • Identification and management of hazards and key safety risks in the laboratory. • Management of approx. 16 undergraduate students to ensure clear communication of both safety and challenging concepts in an engaging manner. • Assessment of work performed in the laboratory and provision of constructive feedback. • Effective teaching and communication to both a group of students, as well as one-on-one to individual students.

Research associate under Professor Fude Feng at Nanjing University. • Synthesis of composite polymer-antibiotic nanoparticles. • Investigation of nanoparticle encapsulation of DNA. • Preparation of various nanoparticle formulations for cellular assays.

Academic tutor of undergraduate students for chemistry and mathematics. • Clear communication of challenging topics to undergraduate students. • Creating and executing lesson plans for students. • Providing monthly feedback to students, and routine modification of course content to satisfy student needs. • Providing engaging and concise topic summaries.

PhD student in the Hunter Group.
