About Aston
I am a final-year DPhil researcher in Biology at the University of Oxford, where I study molecular and cellular processes in plants. My research spans genetics, molecular biology and proteomics, and I also have previous experience with human cell culture.
My doctoral research has given me extensive experience designing experiments, interpreting complex results, troubleshooting approaches and critically evaluating competing explanations. I also have experience teaching undergraduate students at Oxford, including helping students develop broader scientific reasoning skills.
I particularly enjoy discussing difficult scientific problems where there is not an obvious answer. My teaching focuses on asking questions, challenging assumptions and helping students develop the confidence to reason independently rather than simply being told the solution.

My sessions are aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience students who want to develop their scientific reasoning and approach to experimental research.
Sessions are tailored to the areas you want to develop. We can work through experimental design, appropriate controls, hypothesis development, interpretation of results, alternative explanations and how to approach unfamiliar research problems.
Rather than simply providing answers, I will challenge you to explain your reasoning, identify assumptions and consider what evidence would distinguish between different interpretations. We can also use research papers, experimental scenarios or examples from your field as starting points for discussion.
My aim is to help you become a more confident and independent scientific thinker, with skills that transfer across research projects and biological disciplines.

Aston is someone who I started my DPhil with originally.
He has always proven to be a source of reliability and support, and when I’ve been stuck with work he has helped me think outside the box.
I fully endorse Aston as a wonderful teacher and strong researcher.Aston has been routinely helping me with my PhD applications, and working with him has provided me with a great deal of confidence throughout the process.
He has developed a strong grasp on the type of questions frequently encountered, and engages you in the type of science based critical thinking required.View more recommendations
