Since the beginning of his journey as a PhD research student, Theo has been involved with teaching roles such as demonstrating in technical lab sessions and leading problem classes for various undergraduate mathematics and statistics modules. His involvement with WorldPop began early on in his PhD career as a research assistant. He participated in a year-long project led by Professor Andy Tatem that investigated Facebook’s mobility data during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
