Ramesh

I am Ramesh Devarmani, PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in Aerospace) at the University of Leeds. My current research, in collaboration with Rolls-Royce in Derby, focuses on high-pressure turbine blade design and modeling. Prior to this, I worked as a Scientist D at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in India.

Tutoring Experience

Academic Experience:

Possesses four years of teaching experience at the University of Leeds, instructing MEng and BEng students. I taught and assessed coursework for over 3,000 students. Served as a leader among postgraduate researchers (PGRs) for specific teaching and marking modules, demonstrating strong organisational and leadership capabilities.

Industry Experience:
Former Scientist D at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), India.
Successfully managed and contributed to multiple projects over five years, showcasing expertise in large-scale, high-stakes aerospace initiatives.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach emphasises fostering deep understanding and practical application of engineering concepts. I believe in creating an interactive and engaging learning environment that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world engineering challenges. Key aspects of my approach include:

Student-Centered Learning:
Adapting teaching methods to suit the diverse needs and learning styles of students.
Encouraging active participation through discussions, hands-on problem-solving, and project-based learning.

Practical Relevance:
Integrating industry experience, including my work at ISRO and ongoing research with Rolls-Royce, into teaching to provide students with practical insights. Designing assignments and assessments that simulate real-world scenarios, preparing students for professional challenges.

Clear Communication and Feedback:
Breaking down complex topics into easily digestible concepts using visual aids, examples, and demonstrations.
Providing constructive, timely feedback to help students identify areas for improvement and excel academically. Mentoring students to help them develop both technical and soft skills critical for their future careers.

This approach ensures not just academic success but also prepares students for impactful careers in the engineering
