Teaching Fellow/Assistant - GIS and Remote Sensing

As a Teaching Fellow/Assistant at Trinity College Dublin, I support postgraduate and undergraduate teaching across 9+ GIS and Remote Sensing modules, contributing to the education of the next generation of geospatial scientists.

Modules Supported

• GIS for Smart Cities - Advanced urban geospatial analysis and smart city applications
• GIS for Biodiversity and Conservation - Spatial analysis for ecological research and conservation planning
• GIS for Environmental Sciences - Environmental applications of geospatial technology
• Geographical Information and Remote Sensing Tools - Foundational GIS and remote sensing concepts

Key Activities

Lab Tutorials and Practical Sessions

• Delivered hands-on lab tutorials for both postgraduate and undergraduate students
• Provided instruction in spatial data analysis, geospatial programming, and environmental applications
• Guided students through complex geospatial workflows and problem-solving exercises

Assessment and Feedback

• Assessed student assignments and practical exercises
• Provided detailed individual feedback to enhance learning outcomes
• Supported student project development and troubleshooting

Curriculum Development

• Assisted with course coordination and curriculum design
• Updated geospatial datasets and tools used in class instruction
• Contributed to the modernisation of teaching materials and methods

Technologies Taught

• Desktop GIS: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS
• Web GIS: ArcGIS Online (AGOL)
• Cloud Computing: Google Earth Engine
• Programming: R for spatial analysis, Python geospatial libraries
• Remote Sensing: Satellite imagery analysis and interpretation

Teaching Philosophy

My approach emphasises practical, hands-on learning combined with real-world applications. I believe in bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, ensuring students gain both foundational knowledge and applied skills relevant to modern geospatial careers.
