Journal Article
Brignell, C., Brady, C., Mott, L., & Wicks, T. (2022). Fostering purposeful engagement by building staff-student communities. Student Engagement in Higher Education Journal, 4(2), 52–62

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, many universities moved to a blended delivery of online and in-person teaching. While necessary for public health, this significant disruption to education risked greater isolation and anxiety for students with...

Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers (2020)
Journal Article
Wicks, T. J., Wattis, J. A. D., & Graham, R. S. (2021). Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers. Polymer Crystallization, 4(1), Article e10146. https://doi.org/10.1002/pcr2.10146

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC We present Monte–Carlo (MC) simulations of the crystallization transition of single-chain square-well homopolymers, with a continuous description of monomer positions. For long chains with short-ranged interactions this s... Read More about Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers.

The impact of peer assessment on mathematics students' understanding of marking criteria and their ability to self- regulate learning (2019)
Journal Article
Brignell, C., Wicks, T., Tomas, C., & Halls, J. (2019). The impact of peer assessment on mathematics students' understanding of marking criteria and their ability to self- regulate learning. MSOR Connections, 18(1), 46-55. https://doi.org/10.21100/msor.v18i1.1019

At the University of Nottingham peer-assessment was piloted with the objective of assisting students to gain greater understanding of marking criteria so that students may improve their comprehension of, and solutions to, future mathematical tasks. T... Read More about The impact of peer assessment on mathematics students' understanding of marking criteria and their ability to self- regulate learning.

Monte Carlo simulation of single-chain square-well homopolymers (2017)
Journal Article
Wicks, T. J., Wattis, J. A., & Graham, R. (2018). Monte Carlo simulation of single-chain square-well homopolymers. Manuscript submitted for publication

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the crystallisation transition of single-chain square-well homopolymers. We combine parallel tempering with a non-standard choice of tempering levels, a bespoke biasing strategy and a method to map results betwe...
