Teaching Strengths
Dr Adrian Hunter
Lecturer
School of Biological Sciences
College of Science
My PhD was about genetically engineering a filamentous fungus to better treat wastewater from wineries.
From 2011 to 2021 I taught through fixed-term or casual contracts, up to nine per semester.
In 2022 I was appointed as an Associate Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences, teaching mostly first-year biology. In 2025 I was promoted to Lecturer.
Interested in discipline-based educational research (DBER) in biology, especially about how to optimise online resources for student learning
