For chemical education
Systems thinking is important in education. In teaching fundamental chemistry courses, it is especially important to provide students the big picture of natural science. That brings student broad idea of thinking of the reason of learning every subject in chemistry. I am implementing my expertise (computational chemistry, physical chemistry, and theoretical chemistry) in education to help students find their passion in their future career.
