Nauman H.

I`m a Research and Instrumentation Engineer and fMRI Paradigm Developer at the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, King`s College London, where I work on FPGA-based data acquisition, RF coil development, MR-safe device design, and EEG/fMRI instrumentation. I hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Brunel University and an MSc in Electronics Engineering from Lund University, and I bring over five years of university-level lecturing experience from Pakistan before moving into research engineering in the UK.

I tutor across Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering - covering Electrical, Electronics, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering, as well as Computer Science - from A-Level through to undergraduate and postgraduate level. My own work sits right at the intersection of these subjects (signal processing, embedded systems, circuit design, programming, and applied maths), so I can connect the theory students are learning to how it`s actually used in real engineering and research.

My teaching approach is built on bridging theory with practical application - I don`t just explain concepts, I show students how to build, test, and troubleshoot them. Across a decade of teaching in Pakistan, Sweden, and the UK, I`ve consistently used project-based and problem-based learning: designing and building working circuits, redesigning lab work around current FPGA/embedded practice, and giving students real design challenges rather than isolated exercises. I place a lot of weight on clear expectations and iterative feedback - detailed rubrics, regular check-ins, and short recurring quizzes to reinforce key ideas - an approach that measurably improved student performance in my Electronics courses. I adapt explanations to how each student learns best, and I`m comfortable working with students from very different educational backgrounds. I consistently received 90%+ student satisfaction scores in my university teaching, and I was recognised with King`s College London`s Mentor of the Year award (apprenticeship category) for my mentoring work.
