About Me

As an educator in engineering and computing, I believe that teaching is not only about imparting technical knowledge but also about cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability. My diverse academic and professional experiences have taught me to value the uniqueness of each student and to create learning environments that embrace diversity and innovation.

Technology is constantly evolving, and education must evolve with it. I strive to integrate emerging technologies with evidence-based pedagogical practices to make learning engaging, relevant, and future-focused. My goal is to prepare students to become competent professionals who can thrive in dynamic industries while also developing as holistic individuals with strong ethical foundations and lifelong learning habits.

Currently I teach at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), and I have previously held faculty positions at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK(SZ)).  My academic background includes a PhD and a MSc in electronic engineering from CUHK, and a BSc (Hons) in computer engineering from Queen's University in Canada. Beyond academia, I have worked in research roles in integrated circuit design and industry positions in mobile and cloud computing, and I actively contribute to educational technology initiatives aimed at enhancing student learning experiences.

Ultimately, my teaching philosophy centers on empowering students to connect theory with practice, embrace innovation, and develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
