Nurturing of knowledge and its diffusion into society is one of the key purposes of academia. In addition to my personal scientific endeavors, I also have the pleasure to share my knowledge with students, both as a teacher and as a mentor. I feel honored to have made contributions to the careers of many students.
I have been a guest/substitute lecturer for Solid State Physics, Classical Mechanics, and Electricity and Magnetism (University of California, Berkeley).
I have been a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry, Solids and Surfaces, Quantum Chemistry, Ester Project, Synthesis and Analysis (Utrecht University), Physics for Biology Students (University of Groningen).
I have mentored over 20 students.
