Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamie Willis is a Teaching Fellow and former PhD researcher at Imperial College London with nine years' experience teaching and coordinating undergraduate computing, specialising in programming languages, parsers and parser-combinator design. His doctoral work combined meta-programming and static analysis to build powerful, high-performance parser combinator libraries, a niche that informs both his Compilers teaching and practical lab leadership. He leads the Department of Computing's second-year cohort, teaching Functional Programming and Algorithms while coordinating course delivery and labs. Comfortable bridging research and pedagogy, he holds a PhD in Computer Science and a PGCert in University Learning and Teaching, and brings deep technical rigor to curriculum design and assessment. Based in London, he blends academic research with hands-on instruction, mentoring students to tackle both theoretical foundations and performant implementation details.
