Professor Gren Ireson is Professor of Science Education and his research interests include the learning and teaching of particle physics, quantum phenomena and superconductivity. He teaches an undergraduate certificate course, delivering particle physics, astrophysics and quantum phenomena. For the past seven years he has been involved in pan-European projects developing electronic resources, paper resources, training materials and novel investigations for the learning and teaching of superconductivity. This work, currently ongoing, is based on four EU funded projects. In addition to delivering this material to undergraduate certificate students the author has delivered the material to advanced school teachers, post graduate scientists [non-physicists] and to students and faculty within the School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University.
