Teaching
I have taught undergraduate chemistry students since the start of my DPhil. You can read more about my teaching experience here.
Interests
I am a committed Christian. I belong to St Ebbe’s Church, which is evangelical, popular with students and belongs to the Church of England.
I enjoy photography. I own a Canon EOS 350D digital SLR. I hope to publish some of my photographs here in due course.
I enjoy cooking and trying new types of food.
I enjoy French language and cinema. I studied French for two years at the University Language Centre.
My favourite sports are water sports: sailing, wind surfing and swimming.
My preferred music is jazz - from the swing era to modern day, although I am not a fan of the more radical modern jazz. Some of my favourite tracks are sung by: Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stacey Kent, Claire Martin and Nat King Cole. I play the piano and the guitar a little.
I have always loved fiddling with computers and electronic devices. A few small pieces of software are available for download here. Many friends have benefitted from what my colleages in the lab call “Rodgers International IT Support”.
I have designed or administered several websites. Usually these are database-driven. For example:
- Medea - The Oxford Greek Play
- Electron Spin Resonance 2007 (conference)
- Spin Chemistry Meeting 2005 (conference)
- Prof Peter Hore
- The EMF Biological Research Trust
- The Common Good
