I wrote the first textbook on stardust grains, which can be used as a thread through learning about nuclear astrophysics.

I rely in my teaching style on Peer Instruction, the interactive method proposed by Eric Mazur that engages students in the learning process and emphasises understanding concepts. I strongly believe that students need to be active and in control of their learning and I have been developing (possibly the first?) lectures on stars based on this interactive method.
