Welcome Page

Hello & welcome to my teaching and research portfolio. I'm a passionate Teaching and Research Physicist with diverse and responsible achievements and experience in applied and fundamental research; emphasis in the nano-structure bio-materials design, development and characterization. I am a skilled researcher, analyzer, evaluator, and problem solver and accomplished communicator (oral/written), presenter, and teacher. I am a team and individual contributor with solid interpersonal skills and motivated; self-starter. I can establish and meet commitments and achieve timely results.

I received my doctoral degree in applied biophysics from the University of South Florida (USF), Tampa in August 2013. I am correctly working as an instructor of physics at the California State University, Monterey Bay, California.

I have nearly 10 years of teaching experience and enjoy teaching most. I held a physics lecturer position from 2003 to 2007 at various top Colleges in Nepal. The opportunities to teach at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, at the University of South Florida, Tampa, at the California State University, Monterey Bay, California and San Jose City College further enliven my interest in academia. I have taught general physical science courses, courses for high-school teachers, standard introductory calculus-based and non-calculus-based sequences, related labs, recitation and upper division physics courses including modern physics, mechanics, thermodynamic, optic, and associated labs.

I have been using number of innovative teaching technology and educational pedagogues for the students success. I also used Blackboard, Canvas and iLearn course and learning modules for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning education. I also have attended a number teaching workshops, training and seminars to strengthen my teaching proficiency and use of teaching-learning enhanced technology. These programs exposed me to both traditional and modern pedagogues that promote exploration and application of educational theory in my classrooms. The urge to convert my experiences and work ethics into contributions to the academic arena of physics and engineering is the most basic and persistent impulse of my life.

My general research interests are at the intersection of biophysics, material science and nanotechnology. My research focused on synthetic polypeptide-based nanostructured bio-materials synthesis and development for the applications as tissue engineering scaffold, antimicrobial coatings and drug delivery vehicles. I use knowledge from physics, chemistry and biology to engineer bio-materials for the medical applications. I utilize electrospinning and molecular self-assembly techniques to synthesize bio-materials and use several spectroscopy, electron microscopy and microscopy tools to characterize bio-materials.
