KEY RESEARCH and PRACTICE/EDUCATION responsibilities Sonja leads practices, research and education across a number of disciplinary streams within the built environment. She currently leads delivery of modules and programmes (undergraduate and postgraduate) within the Architecture and Built Environment department as well as across the institution (in Geography and Environmental Management Dept. for instance). She is a module leader, programme leader (for the award-winning BEng Architecture and Environmental Engineering course) as well as dissertation supervisor and (forthcoming) Doctoral Director of studies and has taught in a range of settings from individual tutorials, workshops, small groups as well as large cohorts. She is a passionate educator/researcher and practitioner with a firm belief in transforming and innovating across research and learning spectra including exploring innovative research strategies within architecture and engineering firms, developing new feedback and assessment tools within built environment pedagogies, enabling virtual and webinar style external leading designers input and facilitating a range of studio teaching techniques including live project field studies (national and international). Sonja is fully responsible for the coordination and delivery of both industrial research strategies within architecture and across a range of disciplines as well as education including design studio and research strategies at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. She has initiated new academic/industry working groups to share knowledge and develop research practice, contributed to international and UK curriculum design, developed design briefs as well as novel assessment processes, liaised with ARB/RIBA and CIBSE accreditors and validators as well as external examiners. She also supervises MSc dissertations, provides support and research guidance as well as study skills at postgraduate levels including PhD (forthcoming). Sonja can draw on a wide range of industry and research networks both within the UK and abroad from a range of design and research disciplines, thereby ensuring an enriching, challenging and inspiring research, innovation and education environment is continually fostered.
