Teaching and Mentoring

"Things that are encouraged we tend to do more of, things that are punished we tend to do less of." Marty Lobdell

There is a pleasure of finding things out as Richard Feynman said. You need to learn enough to be able to explore new things. I learned better when I liked the energy in the class, "the vibe". I needed to like the professor, her/his teaching style before I liked the course itself. It can be typical but I learned best in the class during the lecture. It takes way more energy and time to learn later on by yourself and yet sometimes it can be a must. We should make students be excited about what they are about to learn. That's why I would like to apply "Active Learning" during the class. Students should understand the key concepts in the classroom by contributing the class, asking questions, working on in-class projects with his/her peers, etc.

I am very eager to teach the following courses in my future endeavor;

General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Polymer Science & Engineering, Biomaterials, NMR Spectroscopy, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Physical Organic Chemistry, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Materials
