Teaching

Nathan has extensive experience in the teaching of chemistry, particularly focusing on synthetic organic chemistry and foundational chemistry. His experiences in teaching include blended and online, lectures, interactive tutorials, workshops, and laboratory practicals.

Beyond teaching he has experience in subject coordination, having coordinated CZB190 in 2018 and CVB102 since 2019. He has also led course development initiatives, including redefining first year chemistry at QUT.

CVB102 - Chemical Structure and Reactivity

CVB204 - Organic Structure and Mechanisms

CZB190 - Chemistry for Health Science

SEB104 - Grand Challenges in Science

CVB304 - Chemistry Capstone Project

Nathan has successfully supervised 13 undergraduate student projects in both the Capstone Research Project unit and the vacation programs. These students have all gone on to study in honours projects and HDR programs, or find succesful employment post graduation.

Scholarly research projects: In addition to his teaching roles, Nathan aims to develop his teaching pedagogy through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

2016-2023. The role of adaptive learning in science and chemistry education.
