Dr Simone Pitman

I am the Senior Teaching Manager in the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences within the STEM Faculty at the Open University.
After completing a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry and Physics, followed by a PhD in Laser Physics at the University of Keele, I joined the OU in 1993 initially working on a HEfCE-funded Teaching and Learning Technology Programme FLAP (Flexible Learning Approach to Physics) project, developing a range of maths and physics teaching materials for use throughout the HE sector.

Since 1995 I have worked on a variety of UG and PG OU science qualifications and modules, covering chemistry (in particular medicinal chemistry), medical physics, analytical sciences and health sciences related curriculum.
