Teaching Experience

Teaching Assistant for PHYS 1050: 

In mechanics course, the basic concepts of calculus together with laws of conservation of momentum and energy are used to develop the tools required to describe, analyze and predict the outcomes of linear and rotational motion in simple mechanical systems. A brief introduction to the Einstein theory of special relativity provides a taste of modern approaches to this subject. This course develops a strong scientific foundation for students considering a program of study in engineering or the physical sciences.

My responsibilities included conducting lab demonstrations, preparing and providing tutorials, and grading lab reports. Number of students in the class: 40.

I was a teaching assistant of this course from 2014 -to- 2019.

Teaching Assistant for PHYS 1070: 

 At the heart of modern communications, waves and oscillations are key to understanding the world around us from subatomic scales to biology, traffic flow, the stock market, climate change and the cosmos itself. In this course, students learn about the mysterious quantum world, the basis of the latest nanotechnology, where particles are waves and waves are particles. Explores Bohr's model of the atom and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. This calculus based course addresses the underlying concepts for all modern science and engineering. 

My responsibilities included assisting with lab demonstrations, preparing and providing tutorials, and grading lab reports. Number of students in the class: 40.

I was a teaching assistant of this course from 2015-to-2019.

Teaching Assistant for PHYS 2152: 

 Modern physics includes wave particle duality, atomic structure and quantum mechanics. Elementary classical electromagnetic theory and wave theory are reviewed as an introduction to the modern physics concepts.

My responsibilities included assisting with lab demonstrations, preparing and providing tutorials, and grading lab reports. Number of students in the class: 40.

I was a teaching assistant of this course from 2014-to-2015.

I provided training to a total of 8 undergraduates, 6 graduates, 3 researchers, and approximately 49 beamline user groups. Specifically, for beamline 8C - Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), South Korea, I interacted with 35 user groups over the course of 3-day experiments each, and for the beamline ID26 - European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, France, I served as a local contact for 14 proposals during 7-day experiments each. The training covered a broad range of topics including Synchrotron-based X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES), Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements and analysis, Rietveld refinements, SQUID magnetometry measurements and maintenance, Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements and radiation safety, spectroscopy measurements, proposal preparation for beamtime, operation of vacuum systems, high and low-temperature systems, and the setup of experiments with in-situ cells.

Since 2015, I have been actively engaged in training graduate students, and since 2020, I have been involved in assisting and teaching synchrotron users.
