Alex Corner
Teaching
I was first employed as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in September 2016 and have been a Senior Lecturer since September 2019. From 2017 to 2022 I was the First Year Tutor for the BSc Mathematics course and since 2019 I have acted as an LGBT+ Tutor for both the BSc Mathematics and BSc Physics courses.
I previously worked as an Assistant Demonstrator, Lead Demonstrator, and Marking Assistant at the University of Sheffield, as well as being a Visiting Sessional Tutor at the International College of the University of Sheffield.
I will be teaching on the following modules in the 2024/25 academic year:
- Fundamentals of Mathematics and Computer Architectures
- first-year discrete mathematics for computer scientists
- Introduction to Cyber Security, Mathematics, and Cryptography
- first-year discrete mathematics and cryptography for cyber security students
