Teaching
This year I am giving the lectures on the Optical Properties of Solids for the Condensed Matter Physics major option. I was Head of the Condensed matter Physics Sub-Department for five years form 2017 until 2022 and had therefore not been lecturing on the undergraduate course actively. Below are links to teaching materials for courses I have given in the past and the current course.
