Teaching
As a teacher, I aim to communicate my enthusiasm for science and for the scientific method. Scientific method is crucial to solving problems, generating ideas, and making policies and decisions. I want students to use the skills acquired in my classroom and lab to secure employment, but more importantly, to apply those skills in the service of humanity.
Courses taught
- Fall 2022: PHY211 (Modern Physics) and PHY323 (Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics)
- Spring 2023: PHY252 (Scientific Modeling and Data Analysis) and PHY324 (Electricity and Magnetism)
- Fall 2023: PHY321 (Classical Mechanics) and PHY101 (College Physics)
Students mentored
I have immensely enjoyed working with students. In a big collaboration such as ATLAS, there are several self-contained and well-defined projects to which students can make significant contributions. Below is a list of students I have supervised and their subsequent or current positions.
