I am currently on a research fellowship (2020-2025) so on reduced teaching and no project supervision load. Apologies to current MSc, MEng and BSc students but I won't be doing any project supervision in this and coming few years.

Previous Courses:

COMS21202: Symbols, Patterns and Signals (Unit Director)Sample Lecture (2019)

COMS21103: Data Structures and Algorithms (Unit Director)Sample Lecture (2016)
