AST 303: Research Methods in Astronomy — I am co-teaching this course in Fall 2026 alongside Michael Strauss and Romain Teyssier in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences.
AST 513: Dynamics of Stellar and Planetary Systems — I will teach this graduate dynamics course in 2027–2028.
Kinetic Theory of Stellar Systems — This 9-lecture course forms the third part of the series Kinetic Theory in the University of Oxford’s Master Course in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics (MMathPhys). I first lectured the course in Oxford in November 2022 (having delivered a trial-run at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton in October 2022), then taught it again in Oxford in November 2023 and 2024.
The lecture notes for this course have now been greatly improved and extended and are available as a Tutorial Article here. Concise handwritten notes, covering everything I wrote on the blackboard in 2023, are available here. The 2024 problem set is available here.
Astrophysical Dynamics of Gravitating Systems — I gave a 4-lecture course in kinetic theory and galactic dynamics as part of the 2024 NBIA summer school. Details (including videos of lectures) are available here.
