About Luis
I am a PhD Researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Engineering and hold a First-Class MEng in Mechanical Engineering.
Scientific programming forms a substantial part of my research and applied work. I use Python extensively for AI, modelling, numerical analysis, data processing and autonomous systems, alongside MATLAB experience from engineering.
My university teaching experience includes computationally intensive courses such as:
Engineering Analysis and Methods 1A
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Mathematical Optimisation
Robotics
Artificial Intelligence
My MEng also included substantial numerical and computational study, including CFD, mathematical optimisation and Numerical Simulation of Waves.

I provide Python and MATLAB tuition for students across STEM subjects, including mathematics, physics, engineering, computing and other quantitative sciences.
The focus is on using programming as a technical tool: translating mathematical ideas, algorithms and data into clear and working computational solutions.
Programming foundations
Python and MATLAB fundamentals
Variables, functions and control flow
Arrays, vectors and matrices
Writing and organising functions
Debugging
Reading and understanding technical code
Scientific computing
NumPy and scientific Python
Vectorised computation
Data processing
Plotting and visualisation
Working with numerical and experimental data
Numerical and technical methods
Implementing mathematical equations and algorithms
Numerical integration and differentiation
Root-finding and iterative methods
Optimisation
Simulation and modelling
Numerical analysis
Scientific data processing
How I teach
I normally connect four stages:
Mathematical idea → algorithm → implementation → interpretation
This is particularly useful when programming is being taught as part of another subject and the difficulty is not simply syntax, but understanding how the underlying technical method should be translated into code.
Lessons are suitable both for students learning technical programming from the beginning and those who already know the basics but want to become more confident using Python or MATLAB within their degree.
